"I am delighted to be selected as the candidate to provide a fresh start in the market towns and villages of Stone, Great Wyrley & Penkridge.
 People across this new constituency are ready for change. They want to build a sustainable future with high quality jobs and investment in green economic growth; a secure future in which both urban and rural communities feel safer. I will campaign for local people to benefit from more GP & Dentistry appointments as a Labour government gets the NHS back on its feet. I will use my experience as a teacher to break down barriers for our young people.
 I pledge to work for my constituents alone and will not take on additional jobs. I will be a visible, dedicated MP who champions the people of this area, ensuring our voices are heard in Parliament.”
