## Resource

Bev Craig, Manchester City Council leader and Burnham’s former deputy, has officially stepped into the race for Greater Manchester mayor — and she’s bringing a bold, community-driven vision to the table. With a track record of housing wins, homelessness reduction, and economic growth, Craig promises to spread Greater Manchester’s success far and wide — from revitalizing high streets to keeping transport affordable and creating opportunities for all. Rising from a council estate herself, she’s built her career on fighting for progress and knows the struggles of everyday families. Now, she’ll face off against Green Party’s Geraldine Coggins and Restore Britain’s Marlon West in a race that could reshape the region’s future.
