Nick's Experience

Nick has been involved in a number of political battles.

He was a candidate for Torfaen in the 2003 Welsh Assembly Elections, achieving a 7.5% increase in the share of the vote. He returned again to fight the seat in the General Election.

Nick was elected to Monmouthshire County Council in June 2004, representing the ward of Mardy, near Abergavenny.

As a councillor he was appointed Monmouthshire's "Older People's Champion", a cross-cutting brief with responsibility for the interests of the over 50s across the county.

Nick was elected as Welsh Conservative Assembly Member for Monmouth in May 2007 with 52% of the vote and is currently Shadow Minister for Local Government and Public Services.
