Today I launched my first election leaflet, asking residents of Mid Sussex to lend me their vote on 7th May.
You can view the leaflet below, but you will soon see a hard copy hitting your door mat!

Business leaders praise Conservative-led Government
In a letter to The Daily Telegraph today, signed by over 100 of the UK’s most senior business leaders, the Conservative-led Government’s stewardship of the economy was praised. The letter also warned that a Labour Government after 7th May would disrupt the progress made over the last five years.
It is clear that the Conservative Party is on the side of business; creating jobs and boosting investment. Our long-term economic plan for Britain is working, and to change course now would result in more spending, more borrowing and higher taxes, putting our economy at risk.
You can read the letter in full below.
Dear Sirs,
We run some of the leading businesses in the UK. We believe this Conservative-led Government has been good for business and has pursued policies which have supported investment and job creation.
David Cameron and George Osborne’s flagship policy of progressively lowering Corporation Tax to 20% has been very important in showing the UK is open for business. It has been a key part of their economic plan.
The result is that Britain grew faster than any other major economy last year and businesses like ours have created over 1.85m new jobs.
We believe a change in course will threaten jobs and deter investment. This would send a negative message about Britain and put the recovery at risk.
