Serving as your Mayor for the last three years has been the greatest privilege of my life.

Because together we are building a brighter West Yorkshire, with more good jobs and opportunities available for all. In 2021, when I last stood for election, I made ten pledges to the people of West Yorkshire. I am proud to say that together we have delivered on every single pledge.

From bringing down bus fares to £2…
…to securing over 1,000 new green jobs for young people…
…and recruiting 896 new police officers and staff.

But I promise you this, I am only just getting started.

With another four years, not only will I invest in infrastructure and our police, but I will institute a region of learning and creativity, with the dream of giving everyone in West Yorkshire the chance to succeed.
