Candidate has been selected by members for possible Burnham Central By-election
We are thrilled to introduce our new candidate for the upcoming by-election, Gregory Broadhurst!
Greg brings a wealth of experience, a fresh vision for our community, and a commitment to making a real difference. Let's unite in support of Greg as we work together for a brighter future. Please join me in giving him a warm welcome!
Greg was elected at a member's only event on Thursday 5th December after an hour long hustings session took place alongside the other candidate, Josh Harvey.
A little bit about Greg:
“I work for Weston College teaching and assessing apprentices. After school, I’d had a variety of jobs - in a factory, as a bar cellarman and then several years on the railways. I served for two years in the Territorials, where I realised the Army was where I belonged, and enlisted in the Royal Electrical Mechanical Engineers. Army service took me all over the world including tours in Bosnia, Iraq and Afghanistan. I progressed to Warrant rank and then Commission, completing 32 years of regular service."
"Knowing I’d be leaving the Army, eight years ago we settled locally to be near my wife’s family and give our children stability as they completed secondary education."
“As I travel around Somerset for work, I am very aware of some of the issues our County and town faces and want to use my skills, knowledge and experience to do something to address these.”
Thank You!
Thank you to all the members who attended for the final stage of the selection process, thanks to both candidates who came forward and thank you to the volunteers who helped arrange the event.
We look forward to hearing more from Greg on his future campaign to win Burnham Central in the by-election to come.
