Local councillor sets her sights on Westminster

An east Devon councillor has announced that she's running as an MP in next year's General Election.

Claire Wright is an Independent so doesn't need to go through a party selection process.

She'll be fighting for what's traditionally been a safe Conservative seat - and says she's doing it partly because many local people don't feel their concerns are being represented at Westminster.
