Susan Gaszczak has been a member of the Liberal Democrats for over 20 years. She sits on the Party's Federal Policy Committee with Nick Clegg MP and Danny Alexander MP, where they have been working hard to set out the policies that will form the manifesto 'Change that works for you - building a fairer Britain'.
Susan also sits on Federal Conference Committee. She recently attended the Party's Spring Conference where she made speeches on ending child detention for immigration purposes and the stupidity of Child Tax Funds, many of which are worth less than they were when they were issued.
