Pepe Ruzvidzo
Pepe is a registered nurse with over 30 years experience and is the owner of a small business that provides care services to vulnerable people all over the district.
Pepe says:
"I'm standing because I'm worried that people in Featherstone - including some of my elderly clients and patients - will suffer due to Labour's policies this winter. As a small business owner I worry about how my business and many others will cope with rising costs and a tax on jobs. Voting in another Labour councillor won't help to hold them to account, and as we've seen in recent by-elections, voting for Reform or anyone else just lets Labour in. It's time to get someone representing Featherstone who really cares."
