Oxford West & Abingdon Conservative Association has selected Kate Kettle as their Parliamentary Spokesperson to stand up for residents across Abingdon, Kidlington, Oxford and the surrounding villages.
Commenting, Association Chair, Jenny Jackson said,
“Kate is a competent, kind and compassionate leader. She has a maturity that cuts through petty politicking. And she brings a laser-like focus on delivering the public services that our residents deserve.
“There’s been too much talk from the Liberal Democrats and not enough action. Kate’s selection offers residents the chance to change that.”
Commenting on her selection Kate Kettle said “I am delighted to have been selected to represent the great constituency of Oxford West and Abingdon! We already have lots of ideas for ways to improve the lives of people living in this constituency and beyond. We are looking forward to discussing these with residents over our campaign. I want to give people living in Oxford West and Abingdon a positive vision for the future, and a constituency MP they can be proud of. I hope I can persuade many of you to join me.”
