Introducing Tessa Marshall, a deaf, queer, and disabled woman making waves in the upcoming Senedd election! 🌍💚 Born and raised in Cardiff, Tessa is on a mission to become the Green Party’s second-ever elected representative in Wales. Her story is moving and empowering.
At just 15, Tessa faced a life-changing decision: whether to continue a pregnancy. Choosing to have an abortion, she emphasises the importance of the right to choose, explaining how it allowed her to pursue higher education and become an advocate for women’s rights. Her powerful words highlight that many still lack this essential right, igniting her belief in the importance of choice and bodily autonomy for everyone.
Now, Tessa is standing for election in Caerdydd Penarth, driven by her passion for social justice and equity. She’s tackling big issues, from environmental preservation to housing reforms. And she’s adamant about facing the unpleasant truths of today’s political landscape, pushing back against harmful rhetoric and policies.
Why is she so passionate? Tessa’s lived through economic crashes, environmental crises, and societal inequality, all fuelling her determination to create a better future for Welsh citizens. Her vision includes affordable housing, addressing climate change, and ensuring every individual has access to crucial sexual health education.
Tessa’s journey into politics wasn’t planned. Spurred by grassroots activism and advocacy work, her path led her to stand when she realised her potential to be a force for change. Her candidacy signifies hope for a dynamic, inclusive political shift, where communities see tangible improvements. If elected, Tessa would be a fresh voice in the Senedd, advocating for justice, equality, and genuine progress. Let’s get ready for a greener, fairer future with leaders like Tessa! 🌿✨ #VoteGreen2026 #TessaForSenedd
