In Gordon's own words

Hello. I’m Gordon Howe, your second Green candidate for Adel and Wharfedeale.

I’m a 71-year old retired postman of 34 years, having formerly worked at Ireland Wood delivery office.

Born in South East London to a working class family, I have been a lifelong trade union activist and a member of the Green Party for many years.

I moved to the Ireland Wood area of Leeds 26 years ago and have lived there ever since.

I’ve entered local politics as I believe we need more representation for ordinary working people.

I am a great believer in community and influence by local people over decisions that affect their neighbourhood.

Is this you?
