I’m Emily and I live in Foxwood. I love this area of York, but I also know from the time I’ve lived here that many people feel left behind and ignored by our council and our government, so I’m standing for Labour because I want to change that.

I work in education and youth engagement, and I’ve always cared passionately about opportunities for young people and communities like ours.

I believe that we desperately need a Labour council in the city, to work towards a fairer city which cares for the residents, as well as tourists.
