Name: Richard Quigley
Party: Labour
Richard Quigley is the Labour candidate for the new Isle of Wight West constituency.
Married with two children, and 2 grandchildren, he has lived on the Island and called it home for over 22 years.
As a business owner, charity Trustee of Pan Together and Footprint Trust, he actively campaigns to make the island a better place to live and work.
As the SEND Councillor for the Isle of Wight Council, he has worked to improve SEND services, advocating for parents and children. He is also campaigning to get the Council to develop and embed Community Wealth Building as a route to making the local economy more sustainable.
The Labour Party will be a mission-led government and Richard will make Labour’s missions work for the Island.
His priorities will be:
-Levelling up through improved and cheaper ferry services
-Ensuring all Islanders have the chance of a front door they can call their own
-Using the talents we already have to create more green jobs here
-Supporting an NHS that works for our community
-Tackling sewage and cleaning-up beaches by fining water companies and stopping bonuses
He will champion the Island in Westminster, not just represent Westminster on the Island.
