Open Labour Co-Chair Tessa Milligan said: “We really appreciate the number of people who put themselves forward. We were overwhelmed by the level of talent amongst Labour’s up-and-coming generation of campaigners.
“We hope the candidates we have endorsed have a positive experience in these elections. It is vital that our party continues to inspire future generations of activists and future leaders.”
National Secretary Lauren Davison said: “We want Labour Students working together in pursuit of bold, radical policies and campaigning to deliver a Labour government this year. With Anna Baxter at the helm, Open Labour’s candidates will be laser-focused on building a buzzing campaign force of students across the party and the country.”
Co-Chair Amen Tesfay said: “We can’t wait to see the return of Young Labour conference, strengthened relations with Young European Socialists and more opportunities for young members. This team of Open Labour candidates, led by Jack Lubner, will be the inspiration to deliver on those challenges.
“This year is about securing a Labour Government delivering social and economic justice. About rebuilding hope and a brighter future than that offered by the failing and floundering Tories.”
