My priorities: I will back you and your family.

Full statement

As your MP, I will: 1. Regenerate our area by boosting investment and jobs; 2. Cut the cost of living, by voting for measures which reduce tax and inflation; 3. Help small businesses by reducing red tape and taxes on business; 4. Reduce anti-social behaviour by working with the Police and the community; 5. Invest in health and social care, so we all get the care we need when we need it; 6. Protect our green spaces and our trees.

About me: I previously worked in industry on the project of building full-fibre broadband right across the UK, dealing with the regulator, central and local government. I understand how critical connectivity is to our daily lives. I am now a solicitor, fighting for my clients every single day.

I have been a local Councillor, fighting hard for residents on issues such as speeding, cutting local crime and protecting green spaces. I was previously a Trustee of a local museum.

Coming from a small business background, I am particularly passionate about helping small businesses to grow, employ more people and succeed.

In my spare time, I am a runner. I have completed a marathon, half-marathon and several 10ks.
