Statement to voters

Trust has to be earned and I have strived to deliver on every promise I made to you.

I became interested in active politics when my daughter, then a teenager, encouraged me to stand as an MP because she was frustrated with the lack of women MPs. At the time I was a mother of four school age children and building our business. She inspired me to put my Conservative values and beliefs into action, and that was the start of the path to Parliament.

I'm a local woman, and have lived all my life within a few miles of this constituency, mostly in Birmingham and Solihull. Since I was first elected in 2017 I have lived in the Redditch constituency with my husband Dave and our two rescue dogs Phoebe and Herbie. My four children are all grown up now and I have two lovely grandchildren.

In my rare free time, I prioritise spending time with my family who have given me their unstinting support even though family life has changed out of all recognition since I was elected. I find that a long walk in the Worcestershire countryside or the Welsh mountains with my husband Dave always makes everything better.

I am a traditional Conservative with strong values. I have had 30 years starting up and running my own businesses before coming into politics, so my worldview is entirely informed by the experience of being an entrepreneur and having to make a profit to pay employees and put a roof over our head and feed our family.

I believe in the bonds of local community. Over the years I have volunteered in numerous local organisations including Sunday School, the NCT and the Scouts, where I was a Scout Leader for 20 years.

I am a practising Christian and my faith supports and guides me in everything I do.

I am proud to be British and I believe in defending the nation state and protecting British culture and values of the rule of law and personal responsibility.
