It is a tremendous honour and privilege to have been elected as the Labour Member of Parliament for Welwyn Hatfield.
It is humbling to have received the support of so many from the community in which I was born and where I live with my family.
My commitment to you all, whether from Hatfield, Welwyn Garden City or the villages is that I will work tirelessly to support you and champion our community in Westminster.
We need to return politics to service. I will be a visible and accessible MP for everyone, whether you voted for me or not.
