A Conservative candidate says voters need to consider the need for a strong local voice with Labour poised for a “supermajority” at the General Election.
Eddie Hughes will be among the hopefuls in the Tamworth constituency – which covers areas such as Shenstone, Stonnall and Fazeley – on 4th July.
The Tory candidate said Labour was on course for huge national gains, but believes the local battle will be a tight one.
“The polls are clear – it’s a two-horse race in Tamworth and the villages between me and Labour.
“With Keir Starmer on track for a supermajority nationally, we need a local Conservative voice in Parliament to hold the left to account.
“There is no doubt that this election is extremely close between me and Labour. A vote for any other party will let Labour in.
“A vote for me is a vote for a local champion who will stand up for Tamworth and the villages, and our priorities.
“So, this is my commitment to local residents – no matter who’s in power in Westminster, I will always be your voice, I will always stand up for our values, and I will always get things done for our area.”

Mr Hughes, who previously held the Walsall North seat which has disappeared at this election due to boundary changes, said he had a track record voters could count on.
“I’ve worked with local people to make a real difference and have met hundreds of people, community organisations and businesses. Our amazing communities deserve a representative who will put them on the map, promote our rich heritage and focus on what matters to you and your family.
“As an experienced MP in the West Midlands, I know how to get the most out of Westminster to benefit local people. I will work hard and be persistent to get the best outcomes for our communities.
“In my former constituency, I successfully secured £36million for vital healthcare. I will do the same for Tamworth and the villages to get the investment we need.”
