A good day for the A-list and a good day for women on the A-list. Earlier today Karen Bradley was selected for Staffordshire Moorlands and ConservativeHome has just learnt that Harriett Baldwin has been adopted for West Worcestershire.
ConservativeHome has broken the news to Bernard Jenkin MP, Deputy Chairman for Candidates. He warmly welcomed the news:
"This is still early days for the A-list but I am pleased that excellent candidates are being selected in the target seats. I am delighted to see Harriett and Karen selected today. They will be great Members of Parliament."
Harriett works for J P Morgan and hosted a fundraiser on Wednesday night for the Centre for Social Justice. She was second in the race to succeed Michael Howard in Folkestone & Hythe.
THE PROPORTION OF WOMEN SELECTED SINCE THE INTRODUCTION OF THE PRIORITY LIST NOW EQUALS 30.8%.
