My roots and home are in Bolton.

Full statement

I'm raising my family here, and I want to make sure Bolton reaches its full potential.

With a strong track record of campaigning and knocking on doors for the Labour Party, and a history of working on life-changing campaigns for different communities - from our Armed Forces to victims of press abuse - I've got the experience necessary to be Bolton's voice in Westminster. Every time I speak to someone from Bolton they tell me the same story about their pride in our town, and how it's a great place to make a life, but sadly they tell me that the reality is the town has gone downhill in recent years. Bolton is being let down and left behind under the Tories.

I know that Bolton has so much potential and opportunity, and I'm determined to work with our communities, businesses, and local services to make sure Bolton delivers for everyone.

It's time for a change. Let me know if you want to play your part and join the team - I'd love to hear from you.
