I’m standing as an independent candidate for Ceredigion and Pembrokeshire because I believe local people deserve a stronger voice — one that isn’t controlled by party politics or shaped in Cardiff Bay.

Full statement

This is my home. I live and work here, and like many of you, I see the same issues day in, day out — from pressure on local services, to decisions being made that don’t reflect the realities of rural communities.

I’m not a career politician. I’m someone who’s built a working life here, raised a family here, and understands the challenges facing our towns and villages.

My focus is simple:

• Holding decision-makers to account
• Fighting for fair investment in West Wales
• Supporting local services and infrastructure
• Making sure rural communities are not overlooked

Too often, it feels like we’re an afterthought. I want to change that.

I won’t promise the world — but I will promise this: I’ll be accessible, I’ll listen, and I’ll work relentlessly on the issues that matter most to the people who live here.

Because this isn’t about Cardiff Bay.

It’s about Cardigan Bay.
