Sam Theodoridi – 2022 NEC Candidate Statement

The candidate statement from Sam Theodoridi.

Candidate Statement

As a care worker, working in the public sector, I’m well aware of the cost of a Conservative Government. I’ve seen cuts to funding decimate the care sector, leaving staff demoralised, underpaid and overworked.

We need a NEC whose sole focus is electing a Labour Government and Labour Councils up and down the Country. In Worthing, we are on the cusp of taking control of the local council for the first time. We have done that by putting aside factional concerns and working together to elect Labour Councillors who hail from across the Party politically.

I believe that the work we’ve done in Worthing can be replicated nationally, and my main focus as a member of the NEC would be to get the Party campaign ready.

This would mean:

Supporting CLPs across the country to elect hardworking Councillors, some for the first time in history, to build up trust in the Labour Party at a local level;

Recognising successful election campaigns and asking organisers for feedback on why they were successful, and how that can be replicated across the country;

Delivering a manifesto that we’re proud of, and that people can believe.
