2 Years as your MP

Two years ago, I was elected as your Member of Parliament. Since then, it has been a privilege to represent the Forest of Dean and champion the people, businesses and communities that make our area so special.

Over the past two years, I've worked hard to ensure the

voices of the Forest of Dean have been heard—whether that's standing up for better SEND provision, launching my annual Mock Parliament programme to empower local students, supporting action to tackle violence against women and girls, pushing for a fairer Local Plan, or pressing for improvements to our transport network.

I'm proud to have played my part in delivering change nationally, including lifting the two-child benefit cap, introducing free breakfast clubs, reducing NHS waiting lists, improving ambulance response times, backing a fairer deal for farmers, and putting victims at the heart of the justice system.

There's still much more to do, but I remain committed to fighting for our fair share and making sure the Forest of Dean is never overlooked.
