This election will be the biggest fight for our country in a generation.

Full statement

It is about the type of country we want to be and the future we want for our children.

It is about ensuring that Wales and our rural communities have a strong voice in Westminster who will fight for a Wales that is outward looking and tolerant where everyone has the opportunity to get on in life.

With concerns about the impact that leaving the Single Market will have on our agriculture sector and our towns and villages, it is vital that we have a strong and experienced voice standing up for our communities to ensure that the government listens to our concerns.

In my twelve years representing Ceredigion I have always put our County and our communities first and I will continue to do so if re-elected.

I will continue to stand up for small businesses, for better broadband, for our local services, and for the funding that our communities need to grow and prosper. And I will fight for a Wales that has the tools we need to build an economy that works for everyone, to make our NHS and social care services fit for the future, and to give our children the best start in life.

A vote for me and the Welsh Liberal Democrats is a vote for the open, tolerant and liberal values that Ceredigion has always believed in, and for a strong, local and experienced voice in Westminster.
