David Ray

I am based in Darlington, where I sit as a Labour Borough Councillor for my home ward. My working background is in Telecommunications, and I also represent my colleagues as an Industrial Relations Rep for the Communication Workers Union. I am passionate about my roles as a councillor and a trade unionist and use them as an opportunity to display my Labour values. I work hard to champion our party, whether to residents of my ward, my union members, or the general public. I want to take up the role on the NPF so we can make a difference to people’s lives in the North of England and the rest of the country, with progressive and transformative policies, on things such as workers' rights, public ownership, housing, clean energy & the environment, the NHS, improving infrastructure, economic growth, and putting more money in ordinary people’s pockets.

I am standing to be on the National Policy Forum in the Northern Region alongside my comrades, Connor Slomski, Rochelle Lainé, Hannah Cousins, and Eleanor Woolstencroft, who is standing for the Youth Position. I would ask you consider voting for them also. I would like to thank the Centre-Left Grass Roots for their support.
