Dear Branch Secretary
I am standing to be the West Ham CLP Vice Chair campaigns
at our Annual General Meeting in June and I am requesting the supportive
nomination of your Branch.
I am a long standing member and activist in West Ham and
have served the Party in a number of different roles, including Vice Chair
Campaigns in the past and Parliamentary Agent for Lyn Brown MP in 2010 and
2015.
I have also been a Labour Party agent for Council by
elections.
I have been an active campaigner for many years and have
planned and led canvassing teams in Newham and elsewhere. I can write and
design leaflets, press releases and social media posts.
For the past 5 years I have also been a full time lay
organiser for my trade union UNISON and have taken part and directed a wide
range of campaigns for a living wage, better housing and employment protection.
If elected as Vice Chair Campaigns I commit to doing
everything possible to support the local and national Party. While there are no
local elections this year we have to work for council elections in 2018 and the
prospect of a sudden general election. If elected my aim will be to
attract and involve the huge number of new members who have joined the Party in
recent times to become activists and campaigners for Labour in West Ham and
nearby crucial marginal seats. As Parliamentary agent in the 2015 General
election, West Ham played an important role in defeating the Tory MP in Ilford
North.
I believe that I have the local knowledge, skills,
dedication and experience to be a successful campaigner, vice chair and team
player.
I am currently a backbench Councillor for West Ham, Vice
Chair Membership for West Ham CLP, Vice Chair Forest Gate North branch, Chair
Greater London UNISON Labour link and Vice Chair UNISON London international
and Europe Committee.
Yours faithfully
John Gray
