I'm emailing to tell you why I want to be your Labour candidate for Brent Central.When you decide who to support in this selection one question is more important than any other: who can beat the Lib Dems?I know that I can. I won my council ward back from the Lib Dems in 2010, and successfully defended two other Labour seats against an aggressive Lib Dem campaign in 2006.To win in 2015 we need a candidate who will campaign in every ward, take the fight to the Lib Dems and make them account for their party’s awful record in Government.A candidate who is no stranger to Brent, but who is a fresh face for Brent Labour.I’m that candidate.I was born and raised in North West London; I live right next door to the constituency and I’m currently a councillor for Kilburn, one of the most deprived wards in Camden.  Find out more about me hereBrent Central is at the frontline of our struggle to preserve the promise that we would have a better life than our parents, and our children better than us.We need to campaign for jobs, education and housing; and for the unity we gain from diversity.That’s why I want to be your next Labour MP.  I have the experience and determination to win Brent Central back for Labour and to fight for a fairer and better future for our community.I want to hear your views about the issues that matter and the sort of MP you want.  I'll be in touch soon, but please feel free to get in contact by calling me any time on (withheld for privacy reasons) or emailing me at mike@mikekatz.org
