Conservatives and Labour have both let us down.

Full statement

It's time for a fresh pair of eyes on the County Council's budget and priorities. It's time for Reform! I am NOT a professional politician - I have never stood at an election. I'm just an ordinary man who is concerned about our County and Country and am prepared to stand up and do my best to help turn them around.

I have worked at national, international, regional and county levels, including 20 years within KCC, so understand 'the system' and what is needed to unblock it!. I am qualified in international law and management and I am experienced in getting things done and cutting through red tape. I have led major restructuring in Councils and made huge financial savings whilst keeping and improving services.

My priorities within KCC are to attack 'diversity' initiates and wasteful spending; protect our green spaces and countryside; support farming, small and rural businesses; protect individual freedoms; and promote family, community, county and national values within Kent.
I agree with Reform UK's national priorities to limit immigration, scrap costly Net Zero and give people more spending power through putting back the starting tax band to £20,000.

In the County Council, there is complacency, 'wokeism' and wasteful spending. As an ex-local government Director, I am clear-thinking and entrepreneurial. If you honour me with your vote, I will work for you and the Elham Valley area at County Hall, using my experience of the County Council, to represent you and get the best for you.
