Julie Morgan

 

  Labour Parliamentary Candidate for Cardiff North

 

LETTER – South Wales Echo: Viewpoints, May 5th 2010

 

MP deserving of high praise

 

I am fed up with the current trend of tarring all MPs with the same brush.

 

A recent editorial in one of the broadsheets wrote that “there are some excellent MPs in all parties who deserve our support”. I endorse this view.

 

Therefore, I feel I have to respond to Keith Parry (Viewpoints, April 26th), who argues that all MPs are “self serving and self important”.

 

My MP, Julie Morgan, is neither and in fact has exceeded my expectations. She is one of those rare politicians who are devoid of political ego, and is and committed to helping those in need.

 

I do not support a political party but rather those I consider do a good job. Being active in my local community, I’ve been in contact with elected representatives at all levels, from all parties, and I respect and admire several across the political spectrum.

 

I’ve had reason to be in touch with Julie Morgan on numerous occasions and can vouch for the hard work she puts in.

 

Just a few examples include arranging for relevant AMs to visit my local park and see the work being done by volunteers, (which benefits the group in numerous ways). She even phoned me from Westminster one evening to see how a planning committee I was attending had progressed, and to offer further help if needed.

 

Her office supports a vast amount of personal casework that generally goes unreported. One of my relatives has benefited from such support at a national level.

 

I sincerely appreciate Julie Morgan's hard work, giving me real, practical help and support when I need it, and in my opinion she deserves to be re-elected.
