Jo Gideon's policies
Statement to voters
I was born and raised in the West Midlands, and have now returned as the Parliamentary Candidate for Stoke-on-Trent Central, after a career outside politics.
Full statement
As a mother of three, who has at times struggled financially, I believe my real-world experience means I understand the issues we all face and helps me fight for what matters most.
I have raised over a million pounds and delivered award-winning projects to help vulnerable veterans, isolated communities, small businesses and to improve mental health.
I have run my own businesses for over twenty years. For ten years I was an importer and retailer, so I really understand the challenges our businesses face because of the delay in delivering Brexit.
I worked in innovation and enterprise centres, helping businesses and universities work together, and have delivered leadership training to help charities and businesses thrive.
I was a district councillor for over twelve years, so I understand working with communities at grassroots level. I want to serve Stoke-on-Trent Central as the Member of Parliament because I understand we need a strong voice at Westminster to deliver a vision for this special city post Brexit.
I live locally and can see every day the investment we need to make Stoke-on-Trent a great city. For too long this has been a forgotten part of the country and yet it has offers great opportunities for investors – a low cost of living and housing and an adaptable, hardworking workforce. I will lobby Government for more investment to regenerate our derelict buildings and wasteland.
We also need an improved local transport system and grants to help clean up our many city centre brownfield sites and High Streets. We need to value the individual identities of the towns that make up our city, and also create an overall vision.
