Jonathan Chilvers has been a County Councillor for Leamington Brunswick since 2013. He lives in South Leamington with his lovely wife and two young daughters after first moving here when a student at Warwick University. He led a local homelessness project supporting people to turn their lives around for 8 years until 2017 and is part of a lively local church.

Why the Green Party?

"I've always been passionate about seeing a fairer society at local, national and international level. Whether it be working for a living wage for County Council employees or promoting Fair Trade goods.

But it's not just about distributing money more equally - people need to be able to make decisions about their own lives at local level and have time for strong, healthy relationships with their family and community. I joined the Green Party back in 2008 because it was the only party that was serious about distributing power and money as if people and the planet really mattered.

Since that time I have found people in the Green Party to be committed to improving the lives of others, respectful of others and with oodles of integrity - in other words they don't just talk the talk, they walk the walk. And that, to me, is priceless."
