In this episode of the Growth in Educational Leadership Podcast, I interview Claire Murray, a practice nurse turned political candidate and very dear friend!
Claire shares with us her experiences and motivations for entering politics. She highlighted her desire to address social issues she encountered in her nursing role, such as housing and healthcare.
As a first-time entrant in the General Elections, she discusses the importance of listening, advocacy, and the challenges and rewards of her political journey. She emphasises the need for more female representation in politics and her commitment to creating meaningful change for her community.
