Thank you to the 17,525 people who put their faith in me and my party and voted Conservative in Barrow & Furness at the General Election.
And thank you to everyone who helped on the campaign - organising, fundraising, delivering, putting up posters, making introductions, or just offering advice or support. We couldn't have achieved what we did without you.
We fought a good, clean campaign and achieved an incredible result. We should be proud to have reached out to so many people - from Barrow Island to Seathwaite, from Walney to Kirkby - and for having given them a voice.
We were just 795 votes shy. What a base to build from.
With best wishes
Simon
