I grew up off North Road, I'm from the town & I love it.

I've spent 10 years winning campaigns across the country & learning from the best changemakers in the country. Every time I speak to someone from Darlington they tell me the same story about their pride in our town, how the community here is friendly and full of great talent and how it's a great place to make a life, but sadly they tell me that the reality is the town has gone downhill in recent years. People are struggling to get by and we're being let down on the basic tests of a good life.

I know that Darlington has a bright future and that if we listen to our community and business leaders together we can make things better and celebrate our rich history. It's time for a change and I'm campaigning to make sure that whatever part of Darlington you're born in, whichever school you go to, everyone gets a fair crack at a decent life for them and their families.

I'd love to hear from you so please get in touch to tell me how you think we can make Darlington fulfil its potential.
