Emma´s Words
The doorstep campaign in Wolverhampton North East is going pretty well so far. There are still a lot of undecided voters, and some turning away from Labour, but a lot of our vote is still sticking with us, and talking to people face-to-face has really helped with this.
So far our main focus really has been door knocking, as it’s the most direct and targeted way of speaking with people, and having real conversations about the big issues for them. We’ve also been sending outdirect mail, and focusing on postal voters too as their ballot papers will soon arrive.
High visibility has been a vital part of my campaign too, and I’ve been out with my team at school gates and visited places of worship including temples and churches to meet with lots of different community groups.
I'm from and live in Wolverhampton, and haven’t stood anywhere before, but really want to help improve people’s lives here, which is my main motivation for standing for Parliament.
The campaign definitely does seem on track so far, and I do support the ground work online by letting people know what’s going on through Facebook and Twitter. But local voters don’t tend to get in touch on either site, so door knocking is very much my priority.
The hardest part of the campaign has been just getting everything done. On top of the usual campaigning,emails are flying in too, so it’s just a case of prioritising things to make sure that I can always respond to questions from constituents.
