What does Julia stand for and what can you expect when she's your MP? Julia has a reputation for action and straight talk. She has a track-record of success and runs a thriving business in Otley. She has many interests but three issues come top of her list for change.

1. Rebuild our economy
Julia's a local businesswoman and like everyone else, she thinks Parliament must change. As your MP, Julia would use her business skills to help nurture local firms and create jobs. She understands what’s needed – she’s done it herself – her company's based in Otley.

2. Support local NHS services
Julia’s got support for the Wharfedale Hospital from William Hague and the Conservative health team after she and Andrew Lansley met staff and patients . Local hospitals are at the heart of Conservative plans - we'll rebuild community health services. Julia's passionate about this - three generations of her family have been cared for at the Wharfedale.

3. Fair deal on transport
Julia’s been running a 3 year campaign. For example, Weetwood councillors have got cosy, so Julia's turned the volume up on her parking campaign as council officers have said those who shout loudest often get results. What's more Conservatives are serious about Leeds – David Cameron will put SuperTram back on the agenda and reduce London's say over our local transport funding.
