Sim Harman

Statement to voters

My name is Simeon Harman, I’m 27, and I am the first ever Green Party MP candidate for South Basildon and East Thurrock. I was born in Basildon Hospital and have lived almost all my life in this constituency. Over the past year I have worked as a product rep at Intu Lakeside. Although, the highlight of my week is working as a volunteer along side disengaged teenagers on my 'day off'. Together we study maths and the, small, one to one, work is seeing students flourish and learn. Investing in my community that has served me well is very rewarding. Now I want to do more. Now in one of the most unpredictable and economically fragile times in UK history, I want the people and small businesses in my community to have someone in their corner to help keep them safe and productive for whatever the future may hold. I want protect and grow our public services to make sure, whether its health, education, or welfare, that the people of my community have the solid foundations from which to build new business and lives for themselves and their families. I want my community to be cleaner, with cleaner air, water, parks and countryside; contributing to a stable natural environment for future generations. Finally, I want to make our country a far more equal one, where opportunities to succeed and thrive are for all, not just the few, and people are truly free to become who they want to be.
