One piece of music chosen by the candidate that they feel sum them up:

I am running because I wish to see more opposition in Worcester City Council. I passionately believe that democracy needs meaningful debate and opposition, and this cannot happen if one party has too much power. 

So, I would like to keep councillors on their toes. At its best, unchallenged power leads to complacency and at its worse it devalues democracy. Our precious democratic system needs constant maintenance and careful vigilance.

Worcester is such a wonderful place to live, but like anything good it requires love and attention. I wish to have the chance to contribute to this community in a meaningful way. So, I hope you will consider supporting me this May. Thank you for taking the time to look at my profile. Please feel free to contact me if you have any concerns or questions.

Best wishes

 

Jessie Jagger
