After a long and hard-fought campaign – and after both the BBC and Sky predicted a different result last night – I was hugely honoured to be re-elected as your Member of Parliament in the early hours of this morning.
With the General Election only days away, we are now at the peak of the campaign – with hundreds of local volunteers having hit the streets to support the need for a strong, Conservative voice for Sutton Coldfield.
Last Sunday saw the official launch of my election campaign, with a huge turnout of volunteers and supporters from right across the Royal Town, as we began the task of ensuring that Sutton Coldfield retains a strong, experienced Conservative voice in the tough time ahead.
Parliament has been dissolved, campaign lines are being drawn and it’s election time again! This week I am writing this column not as your Member of Parliament, but as your Conservative candidate for Royal Sutton Coldfield, in the up-coming General Election on July 4.
Over the next few weeks, I’ll be telling you about my key objectives if I am re-elected, updating you on the campaign trail – but also sharing with you lots of interesting and useful stories from across our Sutton Coldfield community.
As part of my work as your MP and working closely with all our Town and City councillors, I am currently distributing my latest leaflet showing how we are making progress despite the setbacks from Birmingham City Council.
