My name is Ian Parry, and I am honoured to be shortlisted as a Welsh Labour Candidate for Gwynedd Maldwyn, the place that I call home.

What we need most are local, progressive candidates. Elections are not about individuals, they are about what we can achieve when united.

I want to stand on a platform that all members can get behind, and run a campaign that is inclusive, forward thinking, energetic, and principled.

Welsh Labour has given Wales so much. In this upcoming election, we have to remind voters to protect the things they love about our country.

I want a fair deal for Wales, a patient-centric NHS, to return prosperity to rural communities, and to build a green and better connected Wales.

I look forward to meeting my fellow Labour members and starting on the road to making that Wales a reality.
