I am standing for the Liberal Democrats because I want to make a difference in our community.

Full statement

The people of North West Essex have been ignored and taken for granted for too long.

We need an MP who genuinely cares for, and stands up for the constituency; who fights for our NHS; who protects our environment and cleans up our rivers; who tackles rising food prices and energy bills; and who ensures we have the infrastructure we need for our growing communities.

Local residents deserve an MP who listens to them, who understands their concerns and priorities and who will be their voice in Parliament.

Why can I win?

Right now, voters across the country are turning away from the Conservatives in their droves and only the Liberal Democrats can beat them in North West Essex.

After coming second here in the last General Election, we have gone from strength to strength. We have gained 4 new councillors across the constituency in both Uttlesford and Chelmsford City Councils, while Labour has no councillors in the whole constituency.

Having spoken to a number of local voters in the constituency since the start of the year, we know that the Conservative vote is collapsing, and people are ready to put their trust in the Lib Dems.

More about me

I have lived on the border of the constituency in Chelmsford since 2010, where I live with my husband and two children. North West Essex is a beautiful, well-connected and diverse part of the country and I am privileged to have the opportunity to represent such a wonderful area.

Professionally, I have worked in recruitment and training but have spent the last fifteen years serving the community through a variety of endeavours. At present, I am a Chelmsford City Councillor, a school Governor, a University Associate Chaplain and a charity trustee. I pledge to bring much needed trust and integrity back into politics.

I am sure you will agree that things can’t continue as they are. With your help, we will ignite change in our constituency.
