He wants to work alongside other independent candidates.
Being elected to the Daíl means working together for 'the betterment of the people.'
That's the view of Longford-Westmeath general election candidate Kevin 'Boxer' Moran.
The Independent councillor topped the poll in Athlone with more than double the required quota of votes in June's local elections.
Rising energy costs, the cost of living and the ongoing planned refugee accomodation centre in the town are some of the issues councillor Moran will be campaigning on.
He says he'll be able to bring about further change if elected:
