I’ve been really impressed by the way Elly can connect with voters on the doorstep. She wins people over and voters immediately warm to her. She has walked in the shoes of ordinary people and shares their concerns. We need to win again in Thurrock, and we need a candidate with a track record of winning real change for people to help us do that.
Cllr Victoria Holloway, West Thurrock and South Stifford Ward
Elly Baker is a fearsome negotiator, used to taking on global corporations to win a better deal at work for ordinary people. She’s already worked with and helped local Union members over the years in Thurrock. I would always want her fighting in my corner – She has the strength to beat the Tories, and make Thurrock’s voice heard loud and clear in Parliament!
Penny Robinson, GMB London Region President
Elly will be phenomenal advocate for the people of Thurrock. I’ve been impressed with her track record of winning improvements to the lives of ordinary people at a national level. We need candidates with the winning campaign experience that Elly has, and she demonstrated that with her work for the NUT School Cuts campaign in 2017. She is committed to the transformative socialist agenda that Labour put forward in its manifesto this year, and will bring real change to Thurrock.
Cllr Sam Tarry, Dagenham Councillor and Former Director of Jeremy Corbyn for Leader
We need a candidate that can appeal to every community in Thurrock, someone who is an organiser, a fundraiser, and a leader. That’s why I’m proud to support Elly Baker for Thurrock. She’s Labour and Trade Union through and through, and is the best candidate to beat the Tories and turn Thurrock Labour again.
Byron Taylor, South Basildon & East Thurrock Labour Parliamentary Candidate 2017
