Joanna Slater grew up in Surrey, attended Therfield School and now lives in Leatherhead with her husband and young family.

After becoming a mum in 2020, Joanna was drawn to politics noticing that how much young families are affected by the provision of council services such as schools, playgrounds and leisure centres.  Joanna is keen to use her professional skills to help deliver efficient and effective services for her community. Jo sings in a local church choir, she enjoys reading, swimming and countryside walks.
