Jill Skalla selected for Colchester

This is how Jill described herself on the official blog for the open primary:

"I was born in Essex, am married to Bernard and mother to Sam 14 and Louisa 12. I have been an active Conservative since campaigning in the second general election of 1974. I have worked in general lections, by-elections and stood in a local election.

After working as a Cost Analyst for the Daily Mail Group I moved to National Children’s Homes as Head of Operations. Through building a strong team and introducing sensible procedures we achieved savings of £1million, enabling many projects to continue. Besides working in a national children’s charity, I am a school governor and for over 7 years worked in a voluntary capacity as a Mental Health Act Manager in open and secure units, helping adults with learning difficulties.

I believe I am the best candidate for Colchester bringing experience, energy and a natural integrity. I believe we must support those who save for their future, those who want a sound education for their children and those who need the NHS. I am committed to reducing the states role, cutting wasteful bureaucracy and introducing grammar style streaming. I will work passionately to become the face of Colchester and win Colchester back for the Conservatives."
