Joe Hughes
Green Party candidate for Evendons
I moved to Wokingham 18 months ago for a graduate job, and I have never felt more welcomed. I love this area and I am proud to call it my home. Too often our politics revolve around pessimism and negativity. I joined the Green Party to fight for a brighter future for all of us and advocate for the real solutions to the problems all of us share. My dream is to make this area, this country, and the whole world a fairer, friendlier, and greener place to live.
