Yeovil MP, Adam Dance, joins with Pablo O'Hana and Holly Bissinger at Yeovil College to inspire young voters
Liberal Democrat MP for Yeovil, Adam Dance, will be joined by international political strategist Pablo O'Hana and experienced Liberal Democrat campaigner Holly Bissinger at a free public event at Yeovil College on Friday 9 May, from 5.45pm. The event is open to all and will focus on encouraging greater political engagement, especially among young people in Yeovil and South Somerset. Spaces are limited and must be reserved in advance at bit.ly/behind-campaign-curtain.
Commenting on the event, Adam Dance MP said:
"I'm really pleased to be hosting this evening of conversation and inspiration at Yeovil College. It's a chance to hear from one of the most exciting voices in political strategy—Pablo O’Hana—as well as experienced Liberal Democrat campaigner Holly Bissinger, who played a big part in our party’s local success in 2024.
“Politics isn’t just something that happens in Westminster or on the news—it’s about people and communities. We want to show young people across our area that they have a voice and that their vote matters. This event is about starting that conversation and opening the door to those who might be thinking about getting more involved.”
Pablo and Adam—both in their early 30s—will share their own journeys into politics and discuss how to make political campaigning more accessible and inclusive. Pablo is known internationally for his work with Kamala Harris’s campaign in the US, and in the UK and Ireland on major campaigns and elections. He regularly appears on Sky News, BBC News and GB News as a British commentator on both UK and US politics.
Holly Bissinger, who has worked across the South West on behalf of the Liberal Democrats, will share her insights on grassroots campaigning and how people can get involved ahead of the next round of local and national elections.
The evening comes as the Electoral Commission highlights that only 70% of under-34s were registered to vote last July, with turnout at just 60%.
