During her first term she served on the Children, Education and Home Affairs Scrutiny Panel, the Health and Social Security Scrutiny Panel, and later the Economic and International Affairs Scrutiny Panel, as well as acting as a States Trustee of the Jersey Community Relations Trust.

Her specific pledges included reforming employment law to better reflect modern working conditions and strengthen worker protections, improving the working and living conditions of migrant workers, and supporting small businesses. She also committed to pursuing better air quality, reduced carbon emissions, and the creation of a green space corridor in St Helier, alongside continuing to improve public services for residents and visitors.

Manifesto
Promises, and how they voted — 2026–2030 Assembly
Grouped by policy area. Each promise carries the recorded States Assembly votes that test it, and whether this member voted to deliver — open any vote for the motion and the reasoning. A vote counts against a promise only where it plainly contradicts it; where a member voted against one particular measure but the breach is arguable, the vote is shown and set aside rather than counted. Promises no recorded vote has borne on yet are marked as untested rather than scored.

Voting Pour delivers this
The motion directly proposes introducing residential rent controls for two years, which is a core element of fairer rental regulations to protect vulnerable tenants.
26 Nov 2024·P.51/2024 Amd.(28).Amd. — Proposed Budget (Government Plan) 2025-2028 (P.51/2024): twenty-eighth amendment (P.51/2024 Amd.(28)), amendment. Removal of stamp duty surcharge on second homes — Pour, voted against, not counted as a breach30-14
Voting Contre delivers this
The amendment sought to remove the stamp duty surcharge on second homes; voting against it preserves the surcharge that discourages speculative property ownership, supporting fairer rental conditions for tenants.
Considered and set aside: voting this way is not clearly a breach of the promise. The promise concerns fairer rental regulations and protecting tenants from landlord exploitation, while this motion is about stamp duty on second homes — a tax mechanism that could affect housing supply or affordability indirectly, but connecting a vote on stamp duty surcharges to a specific promise about tenant protection regulations requires a chain of inference rather than being self-evident.

Voting Contre delivers this
Removing the 3% stamp duty surcharge on buy-to-let and second homes would encourage more investor/landlord purchases and worsen affordability for tenants, so voting against advances tenant protection.

Voting Contre delivers this
This was an amendment to the empty residential properties amendment; voting against it preserves the substantive empty-properties measure that supports fairer rental conditions.

Voting Pour delivers this

Widening the income threshold for the Community Costs Bonus and extending its deadline directly supports lower-income workers by improving access to financial assistance.

Voting Pour delivers this
Making employer Social Security contributions uncapped is a structural improvement to working conditions by ensuring fairer funding of social protections for all workers.
10 Dec 2025·P.70/2025 Amd.(27)(re-issue). — Proposed Budget (Government Plan) 2026-2029 (P.70/2025): twenty-seventh amendment. Childcare funding rate — Contre, voted against, not counted as a breach10-30
Voting Pour delivers this
Raising the hourly rate paid to childcare providers under the free childcare scheme supports lower-income workers in the childcare sector and reduces childcare costs for working parents with low incomes.
Considered and set aside: voting this way is not clearly a breach of the promise. While improved childcare funding could indirectly benefit lower-income workers, the promise concerned working conditions specifically, and the motion addressed childcare provider reimbursement rates—a related but distinct policy area where a member could reasonably oppose the specific measure without abandoning the broader commitment to workers' conditions.
Keptdirectional Candidate will campaign to raise the minimum wage to a living wage and prevent abuse of zero-hours contracts.
“I will campaign for the minimum wage to be raised to a living wage, and to ensure that zero hours contracts are not abused by large companies for their own financial gain.”

Adjusting apprenticeship grants for inflation supports entry-level workers and is tangentially related to improving earnings prospects for lower-income workers.
Considered and set aside: this motion does not bear on the promise. The promise concerns raising the minimum wage to a living wage and preventing abuse of zero-hours contracts, while the motion decided whether to adjust apprenticeship grants for inflation — a distinct policy area with no meaningful connection to the promised commitments.
