David Taylor has been selected as Labour ’ s Parliamentary candidate for Hemel Hempstead
It ’ s a real honour to have been selected as Labour ’ s Parliamentary candidate for Hemel Hempstead . I first represented Hemel in the UK Youth Parliament back in 2001 , and so it ’ s brilliant to have the opportunity to do so in Westminster in 2024 .
I know Boxmoor well – my Nan used to live on Anchor Lane and I have fond memories of going to the chippy on St John ’ s Road with her and my Dad . My family are from Hemel , with both sets of grandparents moving here after the war , to Chaulden and Highfield . Last year , I stood as a council candidate in Adeyfield , where my other Nan lives in a care home .
I ’ m a former advisor to Gordon Brown and have spent my life helping others . I currently work for a charity helping people in some of the poorest parts of the world earn a fair wage , and tackle climate change .
I want to do everything I can to help people here struggling with the Conservative ’ s cost of living crisis . As your MP , that would be my first priority . I have already met with a wide range of charities and community groups working on the frontline to identify ways I can support their brilliant work .
I will join them in rolling up my sleeves and getting stuck into the community response to the crisis . For example , Hemel Labour are supporting DENS in their drive for foodbank donations , and our members have raised several hundred pounds worth of food donations .
It ’ s time for a change in this country . I will be working hard , listening to local people and making the case for electing a Labour MP and a Labour government . Hemel is one of Labour ’ s battleground seats , and we ’ ll be fighting hard for every vote , to win your trust , and deliver for our town .
