A few weeks ago I was fortunate to be reselected by my lovely local Conservative association. That means I will fight the next election as the party’s candidate again.
It will not be a surprise to most people who know me and have seen me work for the Stroud constituency that I wanted to stand again. I laughed when I heard that the opposition was trying to claim to a constituent that I was standing down…! Good try though
I absolutely love representing you all and I am so proud of how much our little bit of Gloucestershire achieves. This is a great place in a brilliant country.
Politics is shouty and dramatic at times. It can be nasty on social media too. But I spend my days trying to help people here and it is a great honour to work so closely with local people, businesses and organisations.
Hope you are all well!
