The TRG Campaigns in Lewes

Yesterday, a group of TRG members joined local activists in Lewes, Sussex, for a campaign day in support of local candidate, Jason Sugarman.

Jason is attempting to overturn the majority of 8,500 held by Liberal-Democrat Norman Baker MP and if effort and natural ability are any guide, Jason should pull through at the next election! Key local issues involve parking within Lewes and the planned development of an incinerator plant in Newhaven.

The day started with Jason and his team of local supporters running a very professional-stall in Lewes market while the rest of us began a leaflet drop, which we kept working at until darkness fell. By the end of the day we had distributed the best part of 10,000 leaflets across Lewes and Newhaven.

Many thanks to all of those that made us feel welcome in Lewes, in particular, local agent, Charlotte Beaupere and Carola Godman Law, Chairman of Lewes Conservative Association, and all of those that helped guide us, drive us around and for providing lunch to some hungry TRG members!

This was the first time that we have worked to support local candidates like this, but the TRG hopes to take part in more events of this kind in future. The only problem is that there are so many good candidates out there, it is hard to know where we should go!

Whatever else we do, we wish the best of luck to Jason and all of the members of Lewes Conservative Association - we have every confidence you will be able to deliver a superb new member of parliament at the next election!
