Angela Rose Rushton
Green Party candidate for Hednesford Pye Green
Green Party
“I’ve lived and worked in Cannock and Hednesford all my life, and I’ve always taken pride in giving back to our community. Whether you know me from toddler groups or local SEND initiatives, you’ll know I’m passionate about making a difference for young families and being a voice for those who feel they haven’t got one. I’m here to listen, to act, and to fight for the issues that matter most to you — because your voice deserves to be heard.”
