Local residents have given Craig Tracey a vast show of support by re-electing him in the North Warwickshire and Bedworth Parliamentary seat with 26,860 votes – a strong majority of 8510.
Craig Tracey MP said:
“I would like to thank all residents who voted for me and for everyone who supported and worked tirelessly during my campaign. I am delighted and honoured to be re-elected for my home community with such an increased majority. We ran a positive campaign talking about local issues that are important to residents but also showing what we have achieved over the last two years. During the campaign I asked residents to judge me on my record, I will now continue to work every single day for them and our community of North Warwickshire & Bedworth. I am confident that we have a bright future ahead of us and by working together we can make our local area an even better place to live and work.”
Craig’s victory saw a vote share increase of 14.6% to 57% of local votes cast and he nearly trebled his 2015 majority, adding 6800 more votes to his total. A stunning achievement considering in 2015 Craig was defending a majority of just 54 with North Warwickshire & Bedworth the number one key marginal in the country at the time.
Since then Craig has built a reputation for being a hardworking local champion who puts the community first.
Craig’s victory came as the national picture saw a hung Parliament with the Conservatives as the largest Party.
