Campaign Update

Since my selection as the conservative candidate in Chatham & Aylesford, I have been campaigning every day to get out my positive message across the constituency. Side-by-side with Tracey Crouch, we have been speaking to residents about my plan and my priorities.

Everyone I speak to confirms one thing about Tracey: that she has been a superb local MP – and they tell me I have big shoes to fill! I agree! And if fortunate enough to be elected, I would continue many of Tracey’s initiatives like the over 55s Fair and the Apprenticeships Fair.

It has been incredibly rewarding and encouraging to speak to so many people and to hear their views about both local and national issues. In addition to going door-to-door, I’ve attended numerous events including Blue Bell Hill Village Fete, Snodland Football Club’s D-Day beacon lighting ceremony, the ‘Big Lunch’ in Aylesford, and Larkfield Football Club’s annual presentation ceremony. And it was particularly good to host the Home Secretary in Medway (alongside other Medway MPs).

Being at Chatham Docks on the 80th anniversary of D-Day was a real highlight. I attended the Flag Raising Ceremony as we marked 80 years since the beach landings in Normandy. Chatham has a proud military history and it felt very special to commemorate the occasion and to pay respects to our military veterans who gave their today for our tomorrow.

Below is one of the leaflets we have been delivering across the constituency, outlining my campaign priorities and providing some background information about me. The image quality isn’t great so I’ve uploaded the PDF version here.

Please get in touch with me if you have any questions you’d like to ask.

Chatham & Aylesford Selection

I am delighted to say that, on Tuesday evening, I was selected to be the prospective parliamentary candidate for the constituency of Chatham & Aylesford in Kent. It is a huge honour to stand for parliament and I am looking forward to a full and energetic campaign.

The current MP, Dame Tracey Crouch, has been a superb champion for the area and leaves a lasting legacy of genuine achievement. It’s impossible to go anywhere across the constituency without hearing someone singing Tracey’s praises and saying how she has helped them in some way over the past 14 years.

This means I have big shoes to fill! Tracey has been incredibly kind to me since my selection and together we will be campaigning side-by-side over the weeks ahead.

With Dame Tracey Crouch

If elected on July 4th, my plan for the constituency (which covers Chatham, Aylesford, Snodland, Larkfield and the local villages) is to continue Tracey’s great work: to defend green spaces from over-development; to support the police to tackle anti-social behaviour; and to be a strong advocate for better access to healthcare.

My family and I have spent a lot of time in Kent and Medway over the years. It is a unique and very special place – I feel honoured to have the opportunity to represent it. If I am elected in July, I will be committed to protecting it and keeping it special.

The next 5 weeks will be incredibly busy. I will be campaigning full time right across Chatham & Aylesford working hard to earn every single vote. During that time, I will use this website, along with my social media accounts, to provide updates on the campaign.

If you would like to support the campaign, please get in touch. I would love to welcome you to one of our campaign days. There’s plenty of work to do!
