We recorded the best result for the CLP since 1959, doubling the vote from the last election. I managed a team of 60 volunteers, effectively implementing a campaign strategy and organising them across 235 sq. miles for canvassing and leafleting sessions by selecting strategic locations for maximum voter engagement, to running town stalls, hosting events at local festivals or holding mini-town hall events for the public to meet and speak with our PPC. I also ran the CLP’s social media platforms, for which I produced, edited and filmed a dozen short promotional videos with our PPC on national and local issues, like fox hunting, climate change, the NHS and transportation, which were aimed to directly communicate with voters. I held the primary responsibility of drafting press notices and managing CLP press relations, meaning I engaged with the press at every available opportunity, gaining radio, TV and newspaper interviews for our PPC.
