“I was born and raised in Birmingham, and I experienced first-hand what living under a Conservative government looked like, as our country and its greatest institutions slowly crumbled around us. Now I fear the rise of Reform and the similar damage they will do to my city and my country. I want to fight for a better Birmingham, where we can grow through common understanding and hard work, not by punching down at each other or magic solutions.”

“I am standing in Highter's Heath to offer a fresh voice to our community - one that will not stop fighting for us all and isn't afraid to say when times will be hard, but we can get through them together.”

“I make three pledges as a candidate:”

“1. **An active visible Councillor** - You won’t hear from me once every four years; I will tirelessly work for Highter's Heath and always keep you involved and informed on my work!”

“2. **A representative not an individual** - I will consult the residents of Highter's Heath on making decisions that are right for you, not impose them on you!”

“3. **Unity not division** - I will aim to bring the people of Highter's Heath together through the politics of community, not conflict. We can come together to stop a Reform administration that will cut our council’s most vital services and damage the city we love!”
