Following the Prime Minister\u2019s somewhat unexpected decision to call a General Election for 4th<\/sup> July, this will be my final newsletter of this Parliament. It is a great privilege to represent the people of the Maldon constituency in Parliament and I am honoured to have been reselected to contest the coming election as the Conservative Party candidate. I hope that you will support me in my campaign and on polling day. However, if successful, I will continue to do my best to help any of my constituents, regardless of their political views.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I am very much aware of the challenges that people have faced in the last few years, many of which are due to events which could not have been predicted, such as the Covid pandemic and the Russian invasion of Ukraine. I have supported the Conservative Government in tackling these and welcome the clear signs that the Government\u2019s plan is working with inflation down and the economy growing once again. I believe that our country\u2019s best interests are served by the Conservative Government continuing office. If re-elected, I will also continue to campaign for better health care including a new hospital in Maldon and against overdevelopment of housing without the necessary infrastructure to support it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Although all MPs cease to hold the position from the moment of dissolution at midnight tonight, I will be happy to assist any resident of the Maldon constituency who needs help during the course of the election campaign. If you need to get in touch, you can do so by contacting me via email at contact@johnwhittingdale.org.uk<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

I am pictured below signing the nomination papers, officially declaring my candidacy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
