An experienced ship’s captain who will contest the South Douglas by-election says he’ll bring decades of business experience to the Keys – if he’s voted in.
60 year old Kurt Buchholz lives in Douglas with his wife and young daughter and faces off against Bill Malarkey and LibVan’s Keith Fitton on May 21.
Captain Buchholz says he was inspired to stand after battling to set up Ellan Vannin Lines as a rival ferry operator to the Steam Packet Company.
He says infrastructure, transport – and the relationship between government and Island businesses – are top of his political priorities:
