Prynhawn da, croeso i Reform.

Full statement

My name is Lucy Murphy, and I am the Reform candidate for Dwyfor Meirionnydd.

I have decided to stand as a candidate because I believe in a bright future for Wales.

I grew up in Corwen, Denbighshire, and attended secondary school in Llangollen. Like many in my generation, I moved away for university training and then again for employment. I believe that training should be diverse, including apprenticeships, internships, and scholarships.

During my time in Derby, I contributed to Reform's campaign, leading to the election of the first Reform Mayor. It was fantastic to see local people having a voice.

In recent years, Welsh options at the ballot box have become limited. Inspired by my experience in Derby, I decided to stand as a candidate to offer the people of Dwyfor Meirionnydd a genuine choice at the ballot box. I am committed to addressing the concerns of locals and supporting the Welsh economy.

The Welsh economy has tremendous potential, from small business owners to farmers and labourers. Unfortunately, this potential has been hindered by overregulation, high taxation on those least well off, and increasingly poor-quality infrastructure.

For the first time, there is a party that will raise the tax threshold to £20,000, reduce the burden on small independent businesses, and most importantly, control Britain's borders. My goal in this campaign is to give you, the electorate, a real choice at the ballot box.

I sincerely look forward to campaigning and to the results in July. Thank you for taking the time to read this.

Diolch yn fawr.

Sincerely,

Lucy Murphy
