A Labour Government changed lives for plymothians like me.
Things got better, and they can again.
I’ve spent 15 years working in policy, tech and business at a national level. But it’s for Plymouth and for Labour that my fire burns the brightest.
I’m proud to be a campaigning Labour and Cooperative Councillor, to have worked for shadow ministers during the pandemic, and to have stood for Parliament here at the last election, where our vibrant, active campaign outperformed other Brexit seats.
This is not a training ground for the untested. With your support to be our next Labour MP in Plymouth Moor View, I’m ready to fight and ready to win.

Why Johnny Mercer won’t want you to pick Charlotte Holloway:
- A Plymouth-made success story who knows our communities
- 15 years national experience and has changed policy nationally and locally
- Established profile across the constituency
- A positive, credible alternative who's got what it takes to expose Johnny Mercer
- Experienced campaigner who will hit ground running on day one as your candidate and MP
- Proven long-term commitment to Plymouth and to Labour
- An experienced media performer locally and nationally
- Former parliamentary candidate who outperformed other Brexit seats
- Current city councillor who won the most marginal seat in the city
Charlotte is well known across Plymouth Moor View, AND brings over 15 years national experience in policy and campaigning.
We don’t beat Johnny Mercer by playing to his tune.
We win with a positive, credible alternative, showing how Labour will improve someone’s life here.
We win by demonstrating we are a city with a bright future ahead, refusing the Tory label of communities in decline.
I know our communities inside out, and want to bring Labour’s offer to life here like never before.
Charlotte has the proven experience to hit the ground running as an effective candidate and MP
"I know Charlotte from her national and international work, and know she will be a first class champion for Plymothians in Parliament. The world is changing, the nature of conflict is changing, defence is changing - Charlotte's knowledge and experience of international geopolitics and cyber security gained through her professional life are impressive. We need her skills in parliament now."
Lord George RobertsonFormer Secretary-General of NATO and former Defence Secretary 
"Charlotte worked for me as a political adviser during the pandemic when I was in the shadow cabinet and was indispensable. She has the potential to be a rising star in our movement, and I have no doubt that she will succeed in getting Plymouth Moor View what it needs from the next Labour Government. She’s smart, well-connected, and relentless in fighting for what she thinks is right."
Mayor Tracy BrabinThe UK’s only female metro mayor, former Shadow Culture Secretary and Coronation Street actress 
"When I first met Charlotte six years ago, I just knew she would be our next Labour MP. I’ve seen her connect with people from many different walks of life. She's the best of Plymouth, and the best person for beating Johnny Mercer and being the truly transformative Labour MP we so badly need here."
Cllr Keith MooreLocal Labour Party Vice Chair, Councillor for Honicknowle, former cabby & dockyard worker 
Charlotte is exactly what we need in parliament – her 15 years experience in policy making and deep knowledge on the future of work will be invaluable in getting a New Deal for Working People. She has the ideas and solutions to build a better future for Plymouth Moor View for current and future generations.

Charlotte worked for me during the pandemic as a political adviser and she will make a first class Labour MP.
Not only is her commitment to the Labour movement deep and long-standing, she’s also an excellent campaigner and her knowledge in tech and digital will be invaluable in the House of Commons.

I’m a Plymouth Moor View Veteran and there is no doubt in my mind that Charlotte is 100% the best person to beat Johnny Mercer. She’s a well known and popular face across the north of the city, is proven under pressure, and importantly is the person with the solutions and experience to actually deliver for what veterans here need. We win with the best of Plymouth fighting the red corner – we win with Charlotte.
Diane FaulknerFORMER STAFF SERGEANT OF THE WOMEN’S ROYAL ARMY CORPS AND HONICKNOWLE RESIDENT 
Plymouth needs change: Charlotte understands our long forgotten communities and has the ideas and experience to actually deliver the solutions that people here need. In honesty, I believe Charlotte is what Plymouth needs to progress and develop, as well as being the best person to beat Johnny Mercer.
