Former UKIP candidate Jacqui Cummins has been announced as the prospective parliamentary candidate for the Brexit Party in Redcar.
Jacqui was born and lives in Hartlepool and will contest the Redcar constituency in the next General Election against incumbent Labour MP Anna Turley.
She said she felt "honoured and privileged" to be chosen and continued: "I care strongly about democracy, and if elected to represent the people of Redcar, will listen to them, and fight tooth and nail for them in all areas, including, but not limited to, fighting for a clean break Brexit.
"I am confident that this would provide a great opportunity to rebuild Britain, and that by investing the Brexit dividend in regions outside London, we can made Britain a fairer and more democratic country.
"I fully support the Brexit Party stance that Britain should be a nation of free and equal citizens, enjoying the historic liberties we pioneered, such as freedom of speech, and looking after those in need.
"We champion the British values of tolerance and fairness, and embrace the diversity of Britain’s people - and their opinions."
Mrs Cummins stood as a council candidate in the Victoria ward of Hartlepool for UKIP, in 2017.
On her Twitter account, which was activated in July, she argues for the UK to leave the EU on a 'no deal' basis.
The 58-year-old has worked in the financial sector for over thirty years as an independent financial adviser, and has had homes in Germany and the United States.
She also served upon the Lord Chancellor's Committee advising on the appointment of local magistrates.
Last week the Brexit Party - which has pledged to stand candidates in all 650 constituencies around the country - named self-confessed "long-suffering Middlesbrough supporter" Faye Clements, from Thirsk, as its candidate in Middlesbrough .
The Brexit Party was founded by former UKIP leader Nigel Farage, and found success in the EU elections.
The party is advocating a hard, No Deal brexit.
