David Lammy has told Wycombe voters to elect Emma Reynolds as their first Labour MP for 73 years.
David Lammy joined Wycombe’s parliamentary candidate on Saturday at Booker Memorial Hall.
Speaking to a room full of activists and supporters, Lammy said: “I was delighted to visit Wycombe and urge people to vote for change on 4 July and elect Emma Reynolds as the first Labour MP since 1951.
“I have worked closely with Emma for over a decade, and I know she would be a fantastic representative.”
Reynolds previously served as the MP for Wolverhampton North East, winning three elections between 2010 and 2019.
If elected for Wycombe in the July 4 general election, it would be the first time a Labour candidate has won the most votes in the constituency since 1950.
That election was won by John Haire, whose successors as MP for Wycombe have all been Conservative, including most recently Steve Baker.
Reynolds said: “I was delighted that David came to Wycombe to speak to my fantastic team of volunteers and to local residents.”
The MP hopeful’s top priorities are securing more investment for Wycombe Hospital, ensuring better access to GPs, helping people with soaring bills and food prices, tackling climate change, river pollution and improving education.
In the July 4 general election, Reynolds faces Steve Baker (Conservative), Toni Brodelle (Lib Dems), Catherine Bunting (Green Party), Khalil Ahmed (Workers Party of Britain), Richard Phoenix (Reform UK), Ed Gemmell (Climate Party) and Ajaz Rehman (Independent).
