Sir Jeremy Wright says he has shown he is the right sort of person to represent Kenilworth and Southam.

The incumbent Conservative MP is running in the upcoming general election, hoping to keep the place in parliament he has held since 2005.

"I welcome the opportunity, over the coming six weeks, to discuss the choices the Kenilworth and Southam electorate now have," he said.

"I am hoping to carry on representing the place where I have lived for 20 years and where I have helped to get new schools, new GP surgeries and a new railway station built.

"Regardless of who forms the next government, my case will be that Kenilworth and Southam is better off with an MP with experience, who knows how to get things done, who can work with others effectively and get to the root of an issue when it's really needed.

"I believe I have shown that I am that kind of MP."

Sir Jermey will face competition in Kenilworth and Southam from Jenny Wilkinson (Liberal Democrats) and Alix Dearing (Green) on July 4.
