It has been a privilege to serve as your Member of Parliament for two years, representing Uckfield, Hailsham, Crowborough and their surrounding villages in Westminster. During this election campaign, I hope to be able to speak to as many local residents as possible, to persuade you to give Theresa May and I your backing to represent you for the next five years.
I've already been out and about in Forest Row, Hailsham, Mayfield, Groombridge and Crowborough, as well as joining the campaign to elect a strong team for the whole of East Sussex with my fantastic neighbours, Caroline Ansell in Eastbourne and Willingdon and Maria Caulfield in Lewes. I'm looking forward to covering the rest of the constituency over the coming weeks, including Uckfield tomorrow, to visit high streets, drop in to businesses and knock on doors to listen to people's views and concerns.
A brilliant group of local volunteers has been out and about with me, and I'm so grateful for their encouragement and support.
I'm pictured here campaigning with the local team in Hailsham.
