Alex Mayer will be Labour’s General Election candidate to take on Conservative, Andrew Selous in July’s General Election it was announced today [28 May].
Ms Mayer described the General Election as “a once in a generation chance to turn the page.”
Animal welfare champion, Alex Mayer, organised the biggest petition in history against animal testing – taking over 8 million signatures to the United Nations. She is keen to enhance our natural world and is a life member of the National Trust.
Alex is a Vice Patron of Autism Bedfordshire and previously represented the area as its MEP.
Speaking after their selection, Alex Mayer said:
“People in Dunstable, Houghton Regis, Leighton Buzzard and surrounding areas are saying they want change. We have fantastic towns and villages. But everyone can feel that prices are up and our public services are run down. It’s almost impossible to get an NHS dentist now. There is sewage in our waterways and a climate emergency.
“The Tories have had a long innings, including the Conservative candidate who cheerfully went along with the Truss disaster budget that crashed the economy.
“This is a once in a generation chance to turn the page. Labour has a serious plan for Government: to reboot our economy, revitalise our public services and green our country.
“I am excited and proud to be making the case to residents that they can put their trust in me and a renewed Labour Party to help get Britain’s future back. It’s a straight fight between Labour and the Conservatives locally. If you want to see change, every vote for Labour will be vital.”
