Sophie-Jane Williams
Green Party candidate for Whiteleas
I am proud to stand for Green Party and stand for what I believe in. I have lived in South Tyneside since birth with a family who has lived here for many generations. I have seen the effects of climate change and seen the problems caused by a lack of funding for things like hospitals and education facilities. As a 22 year old, I want to be a voice for everyone, for the generations older than me who have lived here for years and the generations yet to come, to create a viable future for South Tyneside. A vote for Green is a vote for the things that really matter.
