As a Welsh woman and former student at Swansea University, I am deeply committed to standing up for Wales and the wonderful people who live here.

Full statement

After living and working in London for 15 years, my Welsh husband and I left to raise our family in Wales, feeling that the quality of life here is better.

I want to help reverse the damage governments in Westminster and the Senedd have caused over the past 25 years, starting by improving life in the Gower constituency. Gower faces serious challenges: crippling business rates, housing shortages, income disparity, and deteriorating transport and road systems. Some areas suffer disproportionately from the cost-of-living crisis and the terrible state of the NHS.

As an MP, I would fight hard against burdensome taxes, rates and red tape on small businesses and individuals. I want to support ordinary working people, while seeking to reduce the unfair advantages enjoyed by giant corporations.

I want to free people to realise their potential by using all their talents and skills and I believe strongly in upholding educational standards. When the Senedd conducts public consultations, it must genuinely listen—unlike their response in the case of sex education for primary school children.

Lastly, I oppose punishing car drivers without first investing in comprehensive public transport. I would endorse genuinely sustainable, affordable green energy initiatives, and would actively support any Swansea MP who seeks to revive the Tidal Lagoon project.

I look forward to serving the people of Gower on behalf of Reform UK.
