James Bennett's policies
Statement to voters
I’m originally from Ferndale in the Rhondda Fach, and have lived in Hopkinstown since 2019.
Full statement
For the last ten years, I have worked in the public transport industry, including roles in communications and strategic planning. I’ve undertaken several voluntary leadership roles with a not-for-profit organisation that encourages people to work in rail, and I’m a published author, with my first book having been released in March 2026.
I joined the Green Party in 2025 after losing faith in Labour’s ability to deliver meaningful change, particularly as we face the crises in climate, cost of living and the Middle East. In particular, I’m campaigning for more investment in sustainable transport, better provision of mental health services, and, as the first openly asexual Senedd election candidate, greater support for the LGBTQIA+ community.
This statement was added by James Bennett, their team, or by a Democracy Club volunteer, based on information published by the candidate elsewhere.
