My promise to the people

The widow of Peter Law yesterday pledged to carry his banner as the new people's champion.

As she announced she wants to stand for the Assembly seat left vacant by her husband's death she said: "I will be listening to people.

It's all about the people at the end of the day."

In later editions of the Argus yesterday, we revealed that Mrs Law, 52, would be seeking to stand and that her husband's former election agent Dai Davies is aiming to stand for the parliamentary seat, both asking the 100-strong Blaenau Gwent People's Voice group for their endorsement on Monday.

Mrs Law said:"I want to stand to give voters choice," she said. "I know I would have Peter's support. I just want to carry on what Peter did."
