Today is #AskHerToStand day - we want to see more women in public service roles, whether as MPs or councillors.
I’ve always believed the right route to a representative #5050Parliament is through encouraging women to stand and supporting them, not through all-women shortlists.
So I’m asking Conservative-inclined women in Newcastle-under-Lyme who might be interested in standing for us as councillors - either in the elections next May or in the future - to please drop me a line (aaron@aaronbell.org.uk). No experience necessary, just a commitment to public service.
And if you’d like to consider becoming an MP in the future, please email me as well.
