Tom Elliott
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Tom Elliott (born on December 11, 1963) is a Northern Irish unionist politician.
Elliott was an active member of the Fermanagh Unionist Association for many years, becoming Honorary Secretary in 1998. In 2001 he was elected as an Ulster Unionist councillor on Fermanagh District Council, serving on various committees.
He was also election agent for James Cooper in the 2001 Westminster Elections.
In 2003 Tom Elliott got the strongest unionist vote in the Northern Ireland Assembly poll. In recent times he has come under scrutiny for apparently splitting the Unionist vote in the 2005 Westminster Elections. However the UUP have dismissed this allegation, as they remain the largest party in the constituency.
He served part-time on the Ulster Defence Regiment and Royal Irish Regiment for 18 years. He is a farmer on a family run beef and dairy farm in Ballinamallard.
