Why I'm Standing for Earley and Woodley

As your candidate, I will work from day one to build a united team and reach people across this new constituency. I can make a compelling case that Labour offers real change and demonstrate that I am the candidate who can be an effective voice for Earley, Woodley, and Whitley in Westminster.

  • I am an experienced parliamentary candidate and can hit the ground running
  • I am an articulate, campaigning local councillor who has spoken up for Labour nationally, regionally and locally
  • I’m also a mum and small business owner who is well known locally as a strong champion for communities across  our constituency
  • I’m a committed trade unionist who has a track record of fighting for working people and public services.
