Statement to voters
My name is Steve Matthews, and I am the Reform UK Prospective Parliamentary Candidate for the Constituency of Stockton West.
Full statement
My family came originally from County Durham, and I have lived in the North East for over four decades, after having served seven years as a soldier in the Royal Army Medical Corps. My final posting was at Catterick Garrison, and following my time in the Army, I moved to Darlington in the late 80s. Joining the police after leaving the Army, I served nearly three decades at Cleveland Police, in both uniformed and plain-clothes roles. It was during this time that I moved to Stockton, which has been my family’s home since 1991.
My time spent serving as a police officer gave me a wealth of real-life experience of society – both good and bad. Every day was varied and interesting, but most of all I am grateful for having the opportunity to protect and serve the various communities that make up Stockton-on-Tees. Following my time in the police force, I have undertaken a variety of roles, including that of Ward Councillor in Stockton, a member of the Cleveland Fire Authority, and Chairman of my local parish council for some 15 years.
I remain passionate about serving the people of Stockton, and firmly believe that as an elected member of Parliament, I would continue to serve the people of Stockton West enthusiastically and with the utmost integrity.
