Statement to voters

I am a researcher in physics at Durham University, and live just outside the city. Moving to Durham in 2015 was coming back to my family roots: my father's family comes from Willington, and I’ve been coming back to visit family near Crook my whole life. I grew up in London and York, then went to Oxford and London for university.
I am transgender, and transitioned when I moved to Durham. It matters to me that we all have the opportunities to make decisions about our lives. I joined the Green party last August because we need to think big about how we do jobs, housing, education, and democracy. Where we are right now isn't working, and we have the chance to change things radically and positively. The Green Party offers bold ideas and a new way of doing politics, with decision-making based where people are, rather than concentrated in central government.
I'm not a politician - I've never stood for election before! I'm standing because we need a genuine positive choice in this election. I am a Green socialist, and I care about solidarity with people, solidarity with the planet, and people having the final say over their lives.
