Sam is a local councillor who has lived in the Chester area since she was four years old. In 2015 she became the first woman leader of Cheshire West and Chester Council. Earlier this year she was recognised with an MBE for her services to Chester.
Sam said: “It is an honour to be representing Chester as Labour’s parliamentary candidate. Chester is my home, where I brought up my family, and where my heart is. We have so much to be proud of in our historic city, but we’ve been let down by this Conservative government.
“In the cost of living crisis, people in Chester face soaring mortgage rates, fuel and food prices, as a result of the chaotic Conservative government destroying our economy.
“My life has been dedicated to helping local people, and I will take the fight to the Tories on behalf of all Chester residents. The Conservatives have put party first, country second and left working people to pay the price. We need a Labour government to grow the economy, keep energy bills down and rebuild the country for a fairer future.”
