Liberal Democrat Spokesperson for Science, Innovation and Technology

Harpenden & Berkhamsted

I believe we deserve better. That’s why I’m campaigning to be the next Lib Dem MP for Harpenden & Berkhamsted. This new parliamentary seat for my local area stretches from Tring to Wheathampstead and Jersey Farm. It's a diverse tapestry of beautiful places and wonderful communities. This highly-winnable seat of Harpenden & Berkhamsted is currently represented by three Conservative MPs, all of whom have run scared to stand in other seats (or standing down). We stormed the local elections in May when we gained 50% of the popular vote and 80% of the council seats across this seat. Come and help me make that positive changeDonate here - https://bit.ly/HnBDonateVolunteer here - victoriacollins.org.uk/volunteerIf elected, I will be the first Liberal Democrat MP of East and South East Asian heritage elected to parliament. Let’s make history!
