About me

I'm not a career politician. I'm a local resident who over the past few years has become increasingly concerned about the direction our country is taking. Britain no longer seems to the fair, decent, tolerant place I grew up in. I decided to stop shouting at the television and to try to make a difference. 

My values are clear; fairness, decency, and community. These will form the basis of what I campaign on to improve the lives of the people, families, and communities of North Somerset. Whether that be for better housing, improving transport infrastructure, reversing education cuts, or supporting local businesses the test will always be the same - it needs to satisfy these values. 

I have lived in North Somerset for 15 years. My family is here, my friends are here, my work is here. It is an incredible part of the country. Most of my life has been spent living in different parts of Somerset. 

I am currently the North Somerset Councillor for Long Ashton, Leigh Woods, Failand, and Wraxall. I was first elected in 2019 and was re-elected in 2023 with over half of all residents voting for me.
