Kris Jack
Green Party candidate for Chingford Green
**About Kris Jack** Kris lives in Waltham Forest with his husband and two sons. He’s a business owner and entrepreneur who co-founded the UK’s largest mental wellness app for the LGBTQ+ community. After a PhD in AI, he moved into industry to build things that help real people. He’s co-chaired his school PTA, navigated the SEND system for his boys, and worked with the council to solve problems on his street. **What Kris Stands For** I’m standing because people in Chingford Green deserve councillors who actually listen and do the work. Too many people in our communities feel unseen and unsupported. That’s not good enough. I believe in working hard, looking out for each other, and helping those who need it. I want more green spaces, stronger communities and housing my children will afford.
