Statement to voters

It's time for a greener, fairer country.

Full statement



I’ve lived in Somerset/Devon most of my life. I grew up on the Somerset Levels and now live in Mid Devon within the new Tiverton & Minehead constituency. I am standing as your Green Party MP candidate to change things for the better and give you the opportunity to vote for something different. I have a degree in Economics, and currently work for the University of Exeter as a Knowledge Transfer Project Manager as well as also working part-time as a Development Manager for Share Shop Tiverton - a new Library of Things (run by Sustainable Tiverton). I have a young family and live on a smallholding. I am a member of the Green Party as I believe they are the only political party which treats the climate emergency as a priority and the only party which will put the environment at the heart of everything it does.

What would I do as your MP? The things I would campaign for; - Invest in renewable energy and insulation to help bring down heating bills. - Tax the super rich to fund public services we desperately need. - Ensure there is funding for not just patching up the potholes but for long term resurfacing of roads. - Bring water companies into public ownership and put an end to dumping raw sewage in our rivers and seas. - Train more doctors and incentivise dentists to offer NHS appointments. - Build more social and affordable housing as well as create rent controls and ban no fault evictions. - Sustainable Transport in rural areas which meet the needs of the community.

With the creation of the new Minehead and Tiverton constituency we have a chance to reset voting history and I urge you to vote for the party which most closely aligns with your values. The Green Party are the only party which will put a liveable climate and a healthy natural world at the centre of their polices. We might not win, but every vote for the Greens signals to the other parties they must do more to protect our environment. Don’t feel forced in to your second choice VOTE GREEN.
