Ellie Kemp
Green Party candidate for Atherton North
Green Party
Hi! I’m Ellie. I moved to the area with my partner and dogs in 2018, and we stayed for the great people, great places and community spirit. I have a background in policy and research and sing with a wonderful community choir locally. I’m standing for the Green Party in Atherton North in the local elections to offer a positive alternative for neighbours who, like me, are tired of their vote being taken for granted.
