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 80^th 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.
