James Alexander

Parliamentary Candidate for York Outer.

Councillor - Holgate Ward

Personal Details

I was first elected as a councillor in 2007.

I am the chair of Children's Services Committee and I am the Children and Young People's Champion for the Council. This position was elected by the children and young people of York. It makes me proud to be elected as a Councillor by York's present and as a Champion by York's future.

Along with my fellow ward Councillors, I have been campaigning to save play area land in my ward from Council sell-off and I have been campaigning to improve road safety.

As a local Councillor, I do my best to stand up for local people, whether that is getting drains unblocked or making sure the streets are clean.

I studied Economic and Social History at the University of York and I graduated with honours. I was elected Students' Union President and I now work as a project and outreach officer at York St John University, encouraging people to go to university whatever their background.

I want to live in a society where a person's talents and hard work will determine where they get to in life. That is my ambition.
