As the Green Party candidate for Folkestone and Hythe, I am committed to representing our community with integrity, passion, and dedication.

Full statement

Guided by the core values of the Green Party, I aim to bring about social and environmental fairness, working for a secure, equitable and sustainable future for all.

I am not a career politician; I am a local resident, involved in the local community, who understands the daily challenges we face here, from potholes to bus services, doctors to dirty seas. My journey from scientific research to the construction industry has equipped me with the skills and knowledge to advocate effectively for our community. The construction industry’s progress in environmental sustainability demonstrates that what is good for the environment is also good for business and public health. I am passionate about tackling the climate emergency, biodiversity loss and pollution, both in my professional and personal lives, which other parties are not taking nearly seriously enough, and there are so many other issues affecting local people, including the cost-of-living crisis and our crumbling public services.

Now, it's time to bring my energy and experience to Parliament. Unlike other candidates who may be tied to party lines, I promise to be your local voice, committed to practical solutions that benefit people and the planet.

People are desperate for change and the Green Party are the only ones who will represent local people instead of putting party interests first. Vote for me, and together we can build a fair, green future for all.
