As I have stated it is my intention to run as a candidate for the Sir Gar constituency as an independent in the Senedd election on 7th May. I am an independent and funding and running the campaign myself and I am fully committed to do right by the community. In coming weeks my election pamphlets will be arriving through letter boxes across the county. As you can imagine I cant speak to everyone but if anyone wishes to speak to me about my policies and what I can do for the county please reach out. Those of you that do know me, know, I will challenge the big guns and fight to get what’s right for our community.
I have ready attended 2 Hustings in the county going head to head with the big parties answering questions from local business people in Llanelli and farming community in Llandeilo.
I am having garden placards made and if anyone feels that they would like one to show their support please let me know.
Please see below these are my policies and priorities and what I will be fighting for should the residents of Carmarthenshire trust me with their votes. You will notice I have also stated how some of these can be achieved.
