Rhea Keehn is The Labour Party's candidate for Ashfield. She said: "I have been fed up time and time again of hearing politicians doing things for themselves, in their own interest, and we’ve seen that at a local level and definitely at a national level with the Tories for the last 14 years and what I’m bringing to the table is saying, let's put standards back into public life. Serving should be a privilege and you should respect that role of public office."
