Leading #SussexPrisonersFamilies, community café creator. Sitting on @LabourParty NEC - website: catarnold.co.uk. Ex District Cllr of 6 years.

I want to thank everyone who supported my campaign to become Sussex Mayor — the members, councillors, activists, and affiliates who gave their time, encouragement and trust. Your belief in a fairer, greener Sussex has meant everything. Thank you especially to UNISON, CWU, Disability Labour, the Co-operative Party and SERA for your nominations and endorsements, and to every CLP that put their confidence in me. Together, we built something positive, values-led and people-focused. Although I wasn’t shortlisted for the final ballot, I’m proud of the campaign we built — rooted in fairness, sustainability and community. Over 15 years running my own business, and through my work as a charity CEO and district councillor, I’ve worked with senior teams in local government, the NHS and across public services. I know how to get things done — by listening, building partnerships, and turning ideas into action.

A quote graphic which reads: “Cat would make a great mayor of Sussex with relevant experience” Cat has experience as a district councillor but also in business and the voluntary sector. A Mayor of Sussex would have regular dealing with all three and Cat would be able to hit the ground running. From her help with my own election campaign I know she’s a campaigner who understands local issues but also the use of traditional and social media. An advocate for the people of Sussex will need such communication skills. Cat understands the vital need for social housing, especially in areas where rents are high, including rural areas where young families have to move away. Vote Cat Arnold as the Labour candidate for Mayor of Sussex. Cllr Michelle White, Marine Ward, Bognor Regis Town Council

We can build a Sussex that’s a greener, more inclusive and better connected place, where everyone feels part of our future.” Below the quote is the LabourList logo with the date Tuesday 14 October 2025.
