Hello, I'm Matthew Jones, and I am running to be your Member of Parliament for Torfaen. - offering a positive alternative for our area.
I'm so proud to be from and live in Torfaen. I was born in Pontypool, with family in most parts of our borough. I went to school in the Varteg and Trevethin.
My world view has been shaped by the people of my community, and I know that we deserve better than what we've had.
We deserve better than the Conservative party that as cut services and funding that keep the poorest in our society afloat.
We deserve better than the Labour party who have mis managed our NHS, underfunded education and taken Torfaen's support for granted.
I'm proud to be a Plaid Cymru candidate, because we believe in fairness and ambition for Torfaen. And we are standing to stop Wales from being forgotten and undermined in Westminster.
If elected, I will make sure that Torfaen is on the agenda every day. I will stand in front of whoever the Prime Minister is, and demand fairness and ambition for Torfaen and for Wales.
Unlike the Westminster parties, Plaid Cymru do not have millionaire funders. We are funded by grassroot donations.
If you can help donate any small amount of money that you can to my campaign - I would be very grateful and it would go a long way!
Diolch yn fawr! Thank you!
