Andy Burnham
Mayor of Greater Manchester
'I'm proud to support Kelly who would be a fantastic member of parliament for Cheadle. I know her well because we've worked together over the years. Kelly has huge experience to bring to the job, she is a hard worker and as a local candidate - she is committed and dedicated to Cheadle. I look forwards to working with her in Greater Manchester as Cheadle's next MP'.
Furqan Naeem
Living Wage Campaigner and Cheadle Resident
'I have known Kelly since her time as a Councillor in Manchester. She has a strong track record of working with communities of all faiths and none. Kelly understands the issues that affect communities and how to advocate for them. She knows how to campaign and will be a powerful voice in Westminster for the people of our constituency.'
Baroness Beverly Hughes
Former Mayor of Stretford and Deputy Mayor of Greater Manchester for Police and Crime
'I have known Kelly for many years through work as a local councillor on Manchester City Council and her role as a senior member of the Police, Crime and Fire team in Greater Manchester Combined Authority when she worked for me and the Mayor, Andy Burnham.
Kelly has a strong record of standing up for equality and justice, challenging poverty, inequality and discrimination in all it forms. She would be an outstanding and diligent Member of Parliament'.
Cllr David Meller
Leader of Stockport Labour Group
'Kelly's record is outstanding: her background working with the Tim Parry and Johnathan Ball Foundation, advising the Deputy Mayor at Greater Manchester level on social cohesion and addressing inequalities and her record as a councillor and campaigner speak for themselves.
Most of all, she lives in the heart of Cheadle constituency and is determined to work with me and Labour in Stockport to serve all our residents.'
Colin Parry
CEO and Founder of the Tim Parry Johnathan Ball Peace Foundation
‘Kelly was a senior figure in the strategic and operational direction of the Foundation’s Programmes including developing our prevention work with young people at risk of violence and our work to support British victims of political violence and terrorist attacks worldwide.
Kelly is experienced with stakeholders at all levels – local communities to national level politicians and she represented the Foundation’s interests nationally and internationally. I have every confidence that she would be a strong voice for Cheadle and be an outstanding Labour MP'.
Bev Craig
Leader of Manchester City Council
‘We need more people like Kelly in parliament and I’m proud to endorse her for Cheadle. I’ve worked and campaigned alongside Kelly as a Manchester Councillor and an activist campaigning across key seats in the North West. I’ve seen firsthand how she genuinely connects with voters, Labour and switchers alike- helping turn the marginal seat of Didsbury East into a solid Labour seat. Cheadle will always be a tough fight for Labour and that’s why a great candidate like Kelly can make such a difference’.
Fiona Hull
Cheadle Resident and Local Business Owner
'As a local business owner, I'm backing Kelly Fowler to bring about the change we urgently need. Kelly's commitment to fostering a thriving local economy, advocating for fair wages, and championing SME's aligns perfectly with our values and vision for a prosperous community.'
Dave Walker
Cheadle Resident and Previous Lib Dem Voter
'In previous elections, I have voted tactically for the Lib Dems - this has never worked out how I hoped. Either the Tories got in anyway or a weak and inexperienced candidate represented me. Kelly is an experienced leader who is passionate about our local area. She is the only candidate who will deliver the change that Cheadle, and this country, desperately needs.'
Rachel Phillips
Cheadle Resident
'Kelly is passionate, caring and very committed to making a difference for her young family and local community
in Cheadle.
As a local resident, Kelly sees the strengths in our community but also what needs to be improved, for example, better access to good education and healthcare, support for local businesses and care for the local environment.'
