Following a full ballot of all Green Party members in the Torridge and Tavistock constituency, Judy Maciejowska has been overwhelmingly selected to represent the party.
Judy is current Coordinator of West Devon Green Party. She lives in Bere Alston in the Tamar Valley where she serves on Bere Ferrers Parish Council. She has been a member of the Green Party for more than 40 years, serving on its governing bodies.
Judy says: “I’m delighted to have been selected to represent the Green Party at the next general election. With the natural world in such a precarious situation the Green Party’s policies have never been more vital. Whether it’s concern for a much-loved variety of butterfly or extreme weather events, we’re all affected by climate change and its impact on communities.
“Meanwhile, the rising cost of living and housing shortages are all the result of poor choices made by successive governments over many years. We need to make better choices that enable us all to live fulfilled lives in harmony with each other and with nature. I am convinced that only the Green Party offers those choices”.
Torridge and Tavistock is just one of 22 constituencies in the South West region that has chosen a Green candidate for the next General Election. This means around 1.5 million more people in the area will have the opportunity to vote Green in 2024.
