Andreas' commitment to working closely with local communities is clear to see and that's what voters are looking for in their MP."
Cllr Robert Finnigan Morley Borough Independents
“Morley and Outwood has long been in need of a strong local champion who actually has a plan to deliver growth and jobs, and at last it has found one in the form of Andrea Jenkyns. She has consistently made the case for investment in the local economy.”
Rt. Hon George Osbourne
Chancellor of the Exchequer
"As Chairman of the national charity MRSA Action UK I have known Andrea for some time and know that healthcare is a topic that she is very passionate about and she cares that patients receive excellent safe care in our NHS. Andrea has shown huge enthusiasm working voluntarily for our organisation and for the benefit of others, meeting health ministers and senior civil servants to discuss safer standards in the NHS."
Derek Butler Chairman of national charity MRSA Action UK
“The people of Morley and Outwood deserve a Member of Parliament who shows genuine care, compassion, and drive to make a difference to the local community – that is exactly what Andrea would provide.
“Her actions over the last two years have demonstrated her commitment to the local area. I know Andrea would be a strong voice in Westminster for all her constituents, while helping us work through our long-term plan to secure a better future for people across Morley and Outwood.”
Prime Minister The Rt Hon David Cameron
“Andrea won me over with her passion for improving the NHS. It is refreshing to see a real person getting involved in politics.”
Ryan Malyk, Father, Local Businessman, Resident, Stanley
Since 2013, Andrea helped us convince the majority of MPs that by transferring responsibility for child protection from the State to biological parents, we resolve much more than childhood problems such as bullying, inappropriate relationships or truancy. Our community projects and national award winning research fully support Andrea’s common sense views on child protection, crime prevention, community safety, incentives to find honest work and basic family values.
We aim to encourage everyone in all sectors to behave responsibly by accepting their responsibilities. In this instance, encouraging you to vote for an inspirational socially aware Politician. We should all feel proud voting Andrea into power knowing she will improve incentives to work, reduce local crime and continue working with organisations like ours to support and protect all vulnerable members of our community. Socially disadvantaged children at risk cannot vote, we must vote in their best interests, for their better protection, care and happiness.
