Last night the Chipping Barnet Conservative Association chose Theresa Villiers as their candidate to fight General Election 2024. At a meeting in High Barnet, the reselection council of the association voted overwhelmingly to reselect the MP.
Speaking after the meeting, Theresa said “I feel honoured to be chosen by the Chipping Barnet Conservative Association to fight a sixth general election. I will be campaigning energetically in the constituency, taking the Conservative message to the doorstep.”
“I will champion the issues people care about in Barnet including halving inflation and growing the economy; cutting NHS waiting lists; getting more police on our streets; protecting our local environment and opposing overdevelopment; and stopping ULEZ expansion.”
“I want to thank the Chipping Barnet Conservative Association for placing its trust in me once again. It is almost exactly 20 years since they first chose me as they candidate, and ever since then I have strived to be the best and hardest working candidate and MP.”
Theresa Villiers has been MP for Chipping Barnet since being first elected in 2005. In that time she has served in four governments under two Prime Ministers, holding the roles of Transport Minister, Northern Ireland Secretary and Environment Secretary. She was the only the 33rd woman ever to have been appointed to the Cabinet. She is now on the backbenches and is a member of the influential Intelligence and Security Committee which oversees the work of the intelligence agencies.
