The latest Conservative candidate in a Liberal Democrat marginal for whom ConHome is seeking to raise £1,000 is Mark Coote, who is standing in Cheltenham.
- Cheltenham has been in Lib Dem hands since 1992, yet they now defend a notional majority of just 316, making it a top Conservative target which the party needs to win to get a Commons majority - and is now better placed than ever to regain.
- Mark is Cheltenham born-and-bred and joined the Conservative Party as a teenager in the town back in 1976. Since his selection three and a half years ago, he has been working tirelessly for a variety of constituency causes.
- His first ever political campaign was to help save his school, Cheltenham Grammar, in 1978, when he ran a petition on the issue which he delivered to Downing Street, having addressed the 1978 party conference on the issue. He spoke about it in this recent campign video.
- Mark is an incredibly decent man whose talents and knowledge would be an asset to the Hsoue of Commons. His key interests in education and health stem from his 22 years as a teacher of history and politics and from his time more recently as fundraising director for Cancer Research UK.
- He would also bring some of the "Widdecombe spirit" to the House of Commons, having acted as an adviser to Ann Widdecombe and run her "Widdy web"!
