Election Comment: We Did It!
Against the odds, we built back after GE24 and held back the Green wave
I honestly could not be prouder of the team that made this happen. We knew we had a uphill battle ahead of us after the Green’s stormed through at the general election in July, but with the support of a great team, and working with dozens of volunteers who kept turning out week after week, we got the result we wanted over the line by four votes. The members, councillors, and other volunteers who made the time to join us on the doorstep, our margin of victory is a credit to you all, because every interaction you had, every leaflet you posted and every letter you sealed, helped to decide this result.
The biggest thank you however goes to you the voters, who placed your trust in me to represent you at Suffolk County Council until the local elections in May 2025. Being able to speak to as many of you as possible was at the forefront of this campaign, and it is that person-to-person connection that got us over the line on Thursday. Whether you voted for me or went another way, I will do my best to represent the interests of all voters within the division, bringing my knowledge and understanding of key areas to help deliver a greater level of public service for our residents.
Communication will be key to the next seven months being a success, and so I would encourage as many of you as possible to subscribe to this newsletter and follow me on social media, where I will be keeping residents up to date on essential local issues.
From next week, I will be attending parish and town council meetings, starting to deliver on my election promises straight away, so you can rest assured that work begins now.
