Born and bred in South Holland, I worked locally in agriculture for many years. I have spent the last year working for Labour leader Keir Starmer, as part of his External Relations team.

Being chosen as Labour's candidate and being given the chance to represent the area where I was born is an enormous privilege. I'm very excited to meet as many people as possible throughout the campaign and hear their views about how we make South Holland and The Deepings thrive. 

My priorities will be to revive the high streets, save our NHS and be a champion for the area nationally.
