Meet Chelsea Whyte, Lib Dem Parliamentary Candidate for Slough

Slough Liberal Democrats are delighted to announce the selection of Chelsea Whyte as the Parliamentary Candidate for Slough in the long-anticipated General Election.

Chelsea currently works as a Senior Public Affairs and Strategic Communications Consultant, advising international businesses across a variety of sectors including energy, manufacturing, legal and finance. She has previously worked across various levels of government, including for Lib Dem MEP Catherine Bearder in the European Parliament and the Lib Dem Elected Mayor of Watford.

Speaking about her appointment, Chelsea said “I am honoured to be representing the Liberal Democrats in Slough. This is an exciting time in politics, with everything to play for. The people of Slough made their opinion of the Labour Party clear during the recent Council elections, paving the way for three hard-working Liberal Democrats to join the Council.

“The Liberal Democrats present the voters of Slough with a clear alternative to the stale and untrustworthy politics of the past. The Lib Dems have detailed costed plans for investment in vital services, such as the NHS, to improve areas where the Conservative Government has been failing so badly. I hope that I can offer people a fresh perspective and the local representation they deserve. I look forward to meeting as many residents as possible over the coming months and helping to affect real change in Slough.”

Cllr Frank O’Kelly, Chair of Slough Liberal Democrats, added “Chelsea is a fresh, new voice for our area, with a wealth of experience as a Liberal Democrat campaigner. She brings with her the much-needed energy and fresh ideas that will further strengthen the re-building of our party from 2023's successes and help us march ahead of Labour and Tory candidates. It’s time we elect someone to Westminster who is community minded and can represent everyone in the town.”
