Following the news that Isle of Wight Conservative MP, Andrew Turner’s campaign manager and election agent have stepped down from the campaign team, just weeks after being announced in the posts, further changes have been announced
New chairman of campaign committee
Speaking to OnTheWight, Cllr Chris Whitehouse, who is currently Acting Campaign Manager for Island MP, Andrew Turner, said,
“Mike Rooke’s been a great supporter of Andrew over many years, and remains so. Sadly, he’s got other family commitments that mean he cannot really continue as Agent. We had a great meeting yesterday of the full 12 strong campaign team and a new Agent will be announced shortly.
“Cllr Ian Ward, Chairman of the Isle of Wight Council and Vice Chairman of the Isle of Wight Conservative Association has stepped up to take the Chair of the Campaign Committee. He’ll be fantastic in that role.
“We’re looking forward to the formal launch on Monday 12th January.”
