Running against Labour’s Bev Craig and Reform’s Marlon West, she’s positioning the Greens as the likely next mayor—or at least a major challenger—capitalizing on recent local wins and a shifting political tide. As a Trafford councillor, she promises to expand Andy Burnham’s legacy to benefit the whole region, tackle the cost of living, and build an inclusive economy that celebrates Greater Manchester’s diversity. With a platform focused on affordable housing, thriving high streets, green spaces, and net-zero goals, Coggins aims to send a powerful message to Westminster: Green voters deserve national attention—and a Green mayor could be the catalyst for real change.
