Sam Covington
Exec Member
Appalled at the outcome of the EU Referendum Sam became far more politically aware and, after a few years spent hovering outside the tent, she became a Liberal Democrat activist. The first campaign she worked on was Alan Hagger’s success in the 2023 by-election for Amesbury West’s seat on Amesbury Town Council, which was swiftly followed by Andrew Lord’s in Amesbury West, and Laura Knight’s in Amesbury South. She also worked on Jacqui Lord’s and Phil Gorman’s uncontested, and consequently successful, bids for Amesbury East and Amesbury South, respectively.
When Amesbury was moved from the Salisbury constituency to East Wiltshire’s she joined the Exec as a campaigner and helped with Caroline Sadler’s successful 2024 campaign for a seat on Marlborough’s Town Council.
In 2025 she became Amesbury’s co-ordinator for the Local Elections, while campaigning in Alan Haggar’s winning bid for Amesbury South’s seat on Wiltshire Council, and supporting all five of our Town Councillors, who held their seats.
She stands by the Liberal Democrats manifesto - in particular to achieve what is fair.
