Rebecca has spent most of her adult life living and working in the Wigan borough, where she has built and run her own small business.

Full statement

Through that experience, she understands first-hand the pressures facing local businesses and working people across the community.

Like so many residents, Rebecca has seen the growing impact of rising costs, increasing legislation, red tape, and bureaucracy, which continue to make everyday life more challenging for ordinary people trying to work hard, support their families, and stay afloat.

Put simply - she understands what local men and women are going through.

This is the type of person we need in politics. Not career politicians, but genuine people with real life experience.

Rebecca is particularly passionate about improving SEND access and support across the local area. Her interest in SEND-friendly activities comes through the work she does within her Community Interest Company, where she has seen first-hand the importance of opportunities, practical support, and activities for people with additional needs.

Rebecca is standing for Makerfield because she believes local people deserve honest representation, accountability, and someone prepared to fight for the interests of the community rather than their own political careers.
