Steve gave an introductory speech, outlining something of his background and why he wanted to stand as PPC for Epsom & Ewell in 2015. He then answered a wide range of questions from those present covering both national and local issues. Steve said "It is an honour to be selected as your candidate for the 2015 General Election. Next year's election will be tough for us. We have new challenges as a party of government and I will be a strong advocate for our policies and our record of achievements. We need to build on the success of Jonathan Lees over the last two General Elections. I will also be supporting those standing for Epsom & Ewell Borough Council next May - the local elections will coincide with the General Election."
