She is a local in the Bradford West constituency, is a mother of two and is involved in local schools, volunteer and charity work.
She has stood for several years for the Heaton ward, in the constituency.
UKIP Leader Nigel Farage MEP said:
“Sonja is a first-class candidate who knows that patch like the back of her hand.
Voters have become fed up with the empty promises of the so-called big three parties and are increasingly looking elsewhere."
Upon hearing George Galloway may stand, Sonja hit back:
“Bradford West deserves an MP that cares about the area, not a career politician only selected by a party to increase their numbers.
In the case of George Galloway, he is little more than a political opportunist desperate to remain in the limelight to keep his Z-list celebrity credentials intact.”

I would be thrilled to do an email interview of Sonja for the pro-UKIP American blog Virginia Right (www.varight.com)
ReplyDeleteI would be interested in how Sonja came from the Greens to UKIP. Does this represent a change in her views on Europe? Are the local autonomy ideas inherent in the Greens helpful to UKIP? Will Sonja run solely on local issues?
Thanks so much. my email is ssanders@varight.com.
