The Home Secretary joined Watford's Conservative candidate for MP as he launched his re-election campaign.
Dean Russell held an event outside The Tudor Arms in Bushey Mill Lane, Watford, on Friday (May 31) ahead of the general election on July 4.
It was attended by James Cleverly, South West Hertfordshire candidate Gagan Mohindra, newly-elected Police and Crime Commissioner Jonathan Ash-Edwards and Tory campaigners.
Mr Russell said: “It has been the absolute honour of my life to represent you as your Member of Parliament here in Watford since 2019.
- July 4 General Election called as Watford candidates react
- Compulsory National Service proposals divide opinion
“I am proud to have delivered a brand new Police Station, secured funding for our new hospital, helped to train 1,000 people in mental health first aid awareness and secured more than £5 million pounds to help reduce rough sleeping.
“There is so much more, and I hope I can get the chance to continue the work I have started.”
He was elected in 2019 with 45.5 per cent of the vote and a majority of 4,433, although the constituency will change slightly at this election as it incorporates the Bushey North ward.
