Roger Hirst - for Essex

I love Essex, and I am launching my campaign to be selected as Conservative candidate to serve as Mayor in the elections next year. Please watch and share my video about what a difference a Mayor can make for our great county.

PFCC Roger Hirst today asked Dame Diana Johnson, Minister for Policing, Fire and Crime Prevention, to raise his request to the Home Secretary to facilitate a meeting with Angela Eagle, Minister for Border Security and Asylum, to discuss public safety concerns in Epping district.

Thanks to Cllr Malcolm Buckley for his support. Malcolm has cared for his residents and won their trust and respect over many years - a model Conservative councillor.

Nigel Farage has the same economic policies as Britain’s worst socialists. We don’t think burdening our kids to pay for a huge welfare bill makes any sense.

Thank you to David Lloyd, former national Chair of the Association of Police & Crimes Commissioners, for his support. We worked together to get our Police to its current record strength across the country - so important at these times of heightened social tension. #Hirst4Essex

I’m very grateful to Graham Butland for his support for me as candidate for Mayor of Greater Essex. We’ve worked together on many projects in his district, from Halstead to Witham and Braintree, and I know how much he cares for his residents.

Britain’s gaslighter-in-chief Keir Starmer stands up every day to tell us that he ‘stabilised the economy.’ But the facts speak for themselves.

The PFCC Community Safety Development Fund (CSDF) 2025/26 is now open for applications for grants up to £20k from Essex voluntary and community safety groups tackling crime and building communities. For more and how to apply visit: ow.ly/SZCX50Wpe2F

We Don’t Just Need to Preserve Rural Essex — We Need to Power It As Mayor, I’ll back these industries with real infrastructure, digital connectivity, planning reforms, and support for enterprise — not just policy, but action. We’ll unlock the full potential of rural Essex

Thank you to Davida Ademuyiwa, Chair of Black Tories, for her support. She has confidence that I have the skills to kickstart our economy in Essex.

🗳️ The Conservative mayoral nomination ballot is now open. A vote for me is a vote for our residents — a vote for their future, their prosperity, their voice. I would be honoured to have your vote. #Hirst4Essex #InvestmentMayor

We need to build a culture that powers Essex forward — a culture of: •Aspiration, not just endurance •Financial resilience, not reliance •Skills and self-belief that support independence, not dependency #Hirst4Essex #InvestmentMayor
