Judith Pattinson, has been selected to fight Workington in Cumbria - the seat where she stood in 2005 under the old boundaries.
At that election, she reduced the majority of sitting Labour MP, Tony Cunningham, by 4,000 votes. Cunningham goes into the next election, under slightly redrawn boundaries, with a notional majority of 8,226, according to the calculations of Professors Rallings and Thrasher of the University of Plymouth, meaning that Judith would require a swing of 11.5 per cent to oust him.
Judith is 54 and a former mayor of Carlisle.
