Matt Aldridge

“Hi, I’m Major Matt Aldridge – local dad, Army veteran and clean energy expert.”

“My family has lived right here in Salisbury for generations. From doing ‘bob a job’ as a Scout to serving as Head Boy of Bishop Wordsworth’s School, chalk runs in my veins.”

“As a father to a young daughter, I know how hard it is to raise a family in a cost-of-living crisis and what it’s going to take to turn our economy around.”

“As an army officer who served on the frontline in Afghanistan, I can rally morale, engage national leaders and get tough things done.”

“I’m registered partially-sighted, so I’ve lived the frustrations of accessibility — and successfully campaigned for change.”

“Finally, as an experienced civil servant and clean energy strategist, I know how to navigate Westminster. I’ll fight to bring Salisbury a brighter future, with an economy that works as hard as you do. Where local business can thrive.”

“Where our rivers are clean and our farms are climate-resilient. And our historic city is celebrated and supported to thrive. ”

“That’s why I’m standing up as your committed and energetic Labour MP, who is always happy to listen and proud to put Salisbury first.”
