I Love This Place - It’s Deep in My DNA

Harpenden and Berkhamsted may be a new constituency – but it’s not new to me. My family go back many generations here. My grandmother was born upstairs in Harpenden’s Oddfellows Arms – one of 6 sisters all born upstairs in the pub. I grew up in Flamstead right in the heart of our new Parliamentary seat – and went to school in Harpenden. I only applied to be the candidate here – this is the only place I want to represent. Local common-sense conservatism is where I’m coming from. 

I Will Work Hard for Everyone Who Lives Here - Whatever Your Politics

I’m not a career politician. Watching what goes on in Westminster often fills me with despair. Earlier in my life I have been both a BBC journalist and founded 3 businesses – creating hundreds of jobs. I’m standing on the basis of local common sense conservatism. Whether it’s fighting the expansion of Luton airport or defending what’s left of our greenbelt, I will work tirelessly with you.

St Albans Times: Local Delegation Backs Turkish Government Officials

“We went to show our support for local democratic politicians in Turkey at this extremely difficult moment for them," said Nigel Gardner. "However much we argue and disagree locally about parking or whatever in St Albans and Harpenden, we are free to voice our views without fear. It was humbling to hear from Fethiye’s Mayor Alim Karaca about the daily anxiety he and his family face about arrest without a fair trial.”
