My name is Steph Harwood and I’m proud to be standing as the Reform UK Candidate for the newly formed Mid Buckinghamshire constituency.

Full statement

As a long-standing resident of Buckinghamshire, I’m deeply committed to this beautiful County, it has been the perfect environment in which to raise my children and I feel strongly that the County’s character should be protected for future generations.

With a career spanning over 30 years in the Sports and Arts marketing world, I have successfully run my own SME business in this sector for two decades, representing renowned clients such as Johnson and Johnson, Danone UK, The Foreign and Commonwealth Office, and the Notting Hill Carnival Trust. These experiences have equipped me with the necessary tools to navigate the complex world of politics and reinforced my determination and commitment to making a positive impact for our community.

Like many, I’m concerned about the slow decline of our great nation. Much of the infrastructure is not working, and we have lost our identity. I feel that we, as the voting public, are not being listened to by either of the two main political parties. Repeatedly, we have been promised the earth, and barely anything has been delivered.

I feel that much of Mid Buckinghamshire has been blighted by the Government vanity project of HS2. We are now seeing increased destruction of the green belt, with development and Solar farms popping up across the constituency on land needed for food production.

Our industry has all but disappeared, and our public services are struggling under the pressure of the rapidly growing population. Political agendas that serve small groups are prominent, whilst basic services for the majority are ignored.

I’m a Reform UK candidate because I’m passionate about putting common sense at the front and centre of government and getting the electorate's voice heard and acted upon once more.

Should the good people of Mid Buckinghamshire give me the mandate to act as their Member of Parliament, I will listen, focus on making our voices heard and ultimately deliver for our communities.
