Candidate Statement
I am a Parish Councillor and a 2019 graduate of Green Party Campaign School. I have spent the last year finishing my Politics and International Relations degree, whilst also running my own Target to Win and Breakthrough 2021 campaign in Derbyshire. In a Conservative stronghold, against the leader of the County Council, we went from a standing start to 2nd place in just under a year of campaigning. I know that I am not alone and that across the country there are many young activists working hard on their campaigns and delivering fantastic results. I am seeking election to the role of Campaigns Officer in order to bring us together. As someone who has run election campaigns at local and national levels, all whilst writing essays, working a job, seeing family and friends and battling to find time for all else that life has to offer, I know just how hard it is. I also know that as Young Greens we are committed, and passionate about making a difference locally. Somehow we manage to balance everything and make it all work. If elected as your Campaigns Officer, I will work to harness our collective energy and passion. To bring us together, not just at election time but all year round. I will create channels for us to share our knowledge, experiences and allow for greater support. Networks which not only provide assistance in the form of action days, retweeting and idea sharing but also in terms of mental health. I want us to support Young Green candidates by creating a space in which we can relate to one another and utilise in order to keep our minds, and therefore our campaigns, healthy and happy. We are all in the same boat but, we are unfortunately disconnected. I will build a clearer process for candidates and their campaigns which sets out a path to Young Green funding and ensures that crowdfunder and other forms of support are set up well in advance of election time. It is important to me that we have an overarching and coherent system which is effective in bringing us together and empowering us to achieve the best that we can. We are all working hard across the country to make a difference and ensure success locally but, I believe that the Young Greens can do more. If you elect me as your Campaigns Officer I will do all I can to enact that change. I know that we can build something stronger and I am excited to make that a reality.
