I am running as the Conservative candidate for Ely and East Cambridgeshire at the 2024 General Election.
I am honoured to have served as the Conservative MP for South East Cambridgeshire since May 2015, and have also had the privilege to have been the Secretary of State for Culture, Media and Sport since February 2023.
I have previously served as:
- Minister of State for Transport
- Financial Secretary to the Treasury
- Solicitor General
- Minister of State for Prisons and Probation
- Parliamentary Under Secretary of State at the Ministry of Justice
- Parliamentary Private Secretary to the Lord Chancellor and Secretary of State for Justice
- A member of the Education Select Committee
Prior to becoming an MP, I practised as a barrister and was appointed as Queen's Counsel in 2013.
I went to university in Cambridge where I met my husband, David.
