To: All candidates for the Bristol mayor position
Bristol mayoral candidate disclosure & transparency
I am launching this campaign, as a response to the revelations contained in the “Panama Papers”
In a little under 3 weeks we will all (hopefully) be voting for a new mayor for Bristol, this is a critically important political role for our city, and therefore I am calling on all candidates to do two things:
1) To provide full disclosure & transparency regarding their own tax affairs and investments
2) To provide full disclosure and transparency regarding those supporting their campaigns financially; who are they, what level of funding have they provided, and whether they are or have been involved in any tax avoidance or evasion.
Please sign up and support us getting this openness so that all of Bristol can make a more informed choice.

Why is this important?
I believe it is important to have this level of transparency in order to be able to judge whether the candidates are fit for office.
