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.

If elected on July 4^th, 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!
