The cost of living crisis has hit Pembrokeshire hard, with child poverty rates among the highest in Wales.

Full statement

As your candidate, I am pushing for quality local jobs that offer fair wages to help families get by. Additionally, I aim to urge the UK government to boost support for offshore wind and green hydrogen industries off our coastline, creating skilled sustainable employment for our region.

Residents across Pembrokeshire are frustrated with long waits to access healthcare under the Labour-led system, whether seeing a GP, finding an NHS dentist, or getting hospital treatment for serious illnesses. As your Member of Parliament, I will fight for improved accessibility to vital services, pushing for life-saving treatments like radiotherapy to be readily available for all local residents who need them.

I will also push to remove the obstacles created by the current European trade deal, ensuring future agreements uphold high standards for health, the environment and animal welfare. I am committed to preventing our local farmers and food manufacturers from facing unfair competition.

As your representative in Westminster, I will work tirelessly towards a better and fairer deal for Mid and South Pembrokeshire.
