Chris Nelson is campaigning to be selected as the Liberal Democrat parliamentary candidate for Kettering
Dear Lib Dem member,
As a lifelong liberal and a committed member of Kettering Liberal Democrats since 2001, including two years as local party chairman, I would be proud to represent you in the House of Commons.
Having lived in Kettering all my life, I am proud to call this area my home. With a community ranging from leafy suburbs and rural villages through to struggling council estates, I firmly believe that only the Liberal Democrats have the policy and values to represent such a diverse community.
With a Labour Party that is on the rocks and our highest share of the vote since 1991, this means we have a once-in-a-generation opportunity to make a breakthrough in Kettering. Yet as shown by my own campaigns – where I secured a 21% increase of the vote as candidate for the Ise Lodge – the only way Liberal Democrats succeed is through hard graft and plenty of shoe leather.
With nearly nine years of campaigning experience, with the skills of a target seat organiser and the discipline of a law degree, I am the candidate with the drive and determination to lead a growing Lib Dem team, both now and beyond the General Election.
I hope that you will give me your support.
With best regards,
Chris Nelson
Treasurer, Kettering & Wellingborough Liberal Democrats
