Alicia Kearns Rutland and Stamford Candidate for the Conservatives
Alicia Kearns
Conservative candidate for Rutland and Stamford
I'm Alicia Kearns, the Conservative candidate for Rutland and Stamford. I'm here to help, so please don't hesitate to get in touch.
During my four and a half years as the MP for Rutland and Melton, I was proud to have stood up for our wonderful area, supported thousands of constituents, and secured some important local wins. From standing up to ensure our dairy farmers were supported throughout the pandemic, to securing £23m in Government funding as part of our successful Levelling Up Bid, I’ve raised Rutland and Melton at the highest levels of Government and beyond. You can watch my maiden speech in Parliament here.
I grew up in a tiny village in Cambridgeshire, and I understand the needs of rural communities and know how often they are forgotten and don’t receive their fair share of central Government funding. My priorities are to protect our rural way of life, to secure the new GP services we need, to level up and end rural disadvantage, to improve our roads and transport links, stand up for our farmers and to keep us safe by tackling rural crime.
Prior to being elected in 2019, I worked in counter-terrorism at the Foreign and Commonwealth Office and then as an independent consultant across the Middle East and North Africa, Eastern Europe and the Western Balkans. During my time in Parliament I had the honour of being elected as Chair of the Foreign Affairs Select Committee. I also launched the All Party Parliamentary Group on Geographically Protected Foods, for Bosnia and Herzegovina and for UK overseas territory Turks and Caicos.
At the General Election on 4th July, Rutland, Stamford and the Stamford and Harborough Villages are moving to a new Parliamentary constituency.
I am standing as your Conservative Parliamentary Candidate, hoping to be elected to serve our wonderful communities as the Member of Parliament for our new constituency of Rutland and Stamford.
During the election I will as ever be out on the doors listening to residents on what matters most to us all, and working hard to win your confidence and the honour of being elected as your MP for Rutland and Stamford.
Yours faithfully,
Alicia
