SIMON MARCUS
CANDIDATE FOR HAMPSTEAD AND KILBURN

I'm the local choice for Hampstead and Kilburn.

I was born and bred here, went to school here, worked here, play rugby here and my friends and family live here.

I'm not a career politician. After succeeding in small business investment and management and working at the British Chamber of Commerce, I co-founded and ran my own charity, the Boxing Academy. This is a London-based full-time alternative education charity for teenagers at risk of exclusion and gang crime.

In the 2010 General Election, I was the Conservative Candidate in Barking, where I came second, beating the BNP and their leader Nick Griffin into third place against the odds.

I was later appointed to the Government Riots Panel after the August Riots of 2011. I'm currently a Camden Councillor and education consultant.

I believe in trying to give a voice to local people and earning their trust.

It’s a privilege to have the chance to represent the area where I live and grew up in and I will work as hard as I can for the people of Hampstead and Kilburn.
