Election Candidates

It is normally traditional for political parties to select local election candidates at the beginning of the year that the elections falls in.

Most of the political parties in Southend will be sounding out their members now for formal selection meetings to commence in early 2010.

The two Shoebury wards have already gone through this process to ensure that candidates are now just foisted upon residents just for election time.

I am pleased that West Shoebury ward committee have re-selected me as the Conservative candidate for West Shoebury ward for the 2010 local elections but I would also like to congratulate Roger Hadley who has also been re-selected as the candidate for Shoeburyness ward where he will be facing Comrade Anne Chalk from the Independent Party.
