We are raising funds to help pay for the campaign to elect Jonathan Essex as the new Green Party MP for Reigate.
About Jonathan
Jonathan is a chartered engineer and environmentalist.
He has worked for engineering consultants and contractors in the UK, Bangladesh and Vietnam on power, transport and maritime infrastructure projects. He currently works for an international development consulting company based in Redhill.
Jonathan is an active community campaigner and has worked on a wide range of local issues, from waste and recycling to defending the Green Belt, potholes, cycling and community facilities.
He has served as a Councillor on Reigate and Banstead Borough Council since 2010 and on Surrey County Council since 2013.
Why we need your help
Jonathan is a superb candidate but elections are expensive.
And unlike the other main parties, the Greens are not backed by corporate donors and multimillionaires. We rely on people like you.
We are looking to raise £1,400:
£500 for the election deposit.
£700 for a leaflet delivered to every home
£200 for posters, leaflets and online campaigns
We know that the more people have the opportunity to hear about Green policies and values, the more they like what they hear.
Anything you can pledge today will make a real difference.
Other ways you can help
If you aren’t able to donate money, you can still help Jonathan’s campaign by telling your friends, sharing this page on social media, and displaying a poster. Please contact [email protected] to offer help.
Finally, of course, don’t forget that your vote counts on 8 June! Register here to vote in the 2017 General Election
Thank you
Jonathan Essex and East Surrey Green Party
