Emily Brothers has announced that she has been selected to contest the Isle of Wight East seat at the next General Election.
The new Labour Party prospective parliamentary candidate for Isle of Wight East, said,
“Representing Labour is a privilege and an exciting opportunity to secure change for Isle of Wight East. I look forward to engaging with local people, community organisations and businesses in the campaign ahead.
“From austerity to the cost of living crisis sums up the Conservative legacy after 14 years of failure and chaos. Labour offers the opportunity for responsible mission driven government through economic growth with quality jobs and improved productivity, making Britain a clean energy superpower, building our NHS fit for the future, tackling crime to improve street safety and breaking down barriers to opportunity.
“I will be listening to voters in the towns and villages that bring together Isle of Wight East to shape local priorities that connect with Labour’s missions for change.
“Every vote will count, so I’ll be working hard to reach out to gain the trust of residents in Isle of Wight East. It is a great place to live, so I want it to thrive by getting our future back.”
