I am seeking re-election on the 8th June having proudly served as your Member of Parliament for the Southampton Itchen Constituency since 2015.
As someone who has lived here all of my life, I know and understand the area intimately and will fight for the issues that matter most to you; your concerns are my concerns. I want to make Southampton and its residents safer, more prosperous and to make our city one of which we can all be proud.
Thank you for your support.
