The selection process for our candidate has been difficult, but the focus now must be on returning a Labour MP for the town.

Rotherham needs a Labour MP that can stand up for ordinary working families in these tough times.

We want a Labour MP to work with, so that we have a united and strong team focused on bringing jobs and investment to Rotherham. Sarah's experience at Bluebell Wood Hospice will stand her in good stead to become a strong and passionate voice for our town. We look forward to working with Sarah.
