Brighton and Hove Conservatives are delighted that Emma Hogan will be standing in the upcoming Hollingdean & Stanmer by-Election as our candidate on 6th May 2021.
Emma says of her selection:
"I am delighted to have been given the opportunity to stand as the Conservative candidate for Hollingdean and Stanmer in the forthcoming by-election; an area I know well, particularly as I am a graduate of the University of Sussex.
I now work locally as a doctor in mental health, and it is through this work that politics – and in particular local politics – have become so important to me. I have rapidly learnt that the greatest impact we as a society can have on all of our mental health is to improve the environment – our local environment. Homes, pavements, schooling, policing and the list goes on.
It is for just this reason that I am passionate about wanting to represent and advocate for all local residents of Hollingdean and Stanmer; to use my local knowledge and skills set to represent those who cannot do so for themselves, or who choose someone to do this for them. I would like to provide a balanced argument to counter the majority ruling party, and provide alternative ideas to improve the city that I am proud to call home."
Steve Bell, Group Leader of the Conservative Councillors: "So pleased to see Emma selected who has a vast knowledge and experience about the local issues and will deliver for all residents in Hollingdean & Stanmer. She will bring with her the determination and drive which the residents deserve to see some real delivery for everyone. Her working for the NHS will be a great asset to the Council debate and the Conservative Group."
