‘Why I’m voting for Marvin Rees’
Suad Abduhalli
I’m voting for Marvin because I believe we need a different kind of politics in Bristol, the type that is more in tune with today’s realities for hard-working families.
is needed now More than ever
Having worked with Marvin I believe he is a strong role model for young Bristolians. He is a man with strong morals and integrity with a good understanding of everyday challenges.

I’ll be voting Marvin for mayor because I believe Marvin’s heart, desire, passion and drive is for Bristol – especially being born, raised and still living and serving communities here.
The mayoral election is not a business opportunity or venture for Marvin, but a passionate fulfillment. As such, I have every confidence that he will do his utmost to provide better services important to me (health, housing, education, and voluntary sections) across the city, to fully ensure that not one of Bristol’s constituents is left behind, and all are served; not just the elite.
Furthermore, I have faith that Marvin will fulfill his duties to Bristol and keep to his promises as set out in his manifesto, and achieve enduring change. Marvin will be a mayor you can trust, for the whole of Bristol.

Marvin embodies so much of what brought me to Bristol – the energy, diverse and eclectic aspirations, the passion to support the less-favoured.
His hopes and aspirations for Bristol chime strongly with mine. His focused ambition is on the real needs and hopes of Bristolians young and old, new and established, and particularly the disadvantaged; indivisuals and businesses at every economic level.
He listens, he hears, he understands and he will act – in our interests. He has a big heart, and we’re in it. I believe Marvin will be the ideal mayor to lead us forward into the next level of regeneration.
