James Cartlidge lives in Assington, near Sudbury, with his wife Emily and four children. James was a Babergh district councillor until May 2015, representing the parishes of Bures St Mary, Little Cornard and Newton Green.

Dr Thérèse Coffey has been the Member of Parliament for Suffolk Coastal since 2010 and is the Minister for the Environment, having previously served as Deputy Leader of the House, Government Whip and Parliamentary Private Secretary to Michael Fallon.

I was first elected MP for Waveney in 2010 and have been working hard for my constituents ever since.

Whether I’m knocking on doors or speaking in Parliament, it’s always my priority to stand up for local people.

Matt is the MP for West Suffolk and was appointed the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care on 9 July 2018.

Jo Churchill was brought up in East Anglia and has lived in Suffolk since 2014.

Dr Dan Poulter was an NHS hospital doctor elected MP for Central Suffolk and North Ipswich in May 2010 and again in 2015.

I moved to Suffolk in 2007, when Denise and I made Snape our home. I retired from a 30-year career in the nuclear power industry in 2014. My interest in local issues has been fuelled by my involvement with the Parish Council and, in 2017, I stood for a County Council position.

As a County Councillor since 2012 and a District Councillor since 2011, it is a great honour to serve and represent the people of Suffolk.

I have been the Suffolk County Councillor for the Blackbourn Division for almost 30 years. I have worked in the public sector in Suffolk since 1972 and live in Pakenham with my husband Christopher.
