Michael Wilson

Reform UK candidate for Bicester West

Reform UK

I am proud to stand as your Reform UK candidate for Bicester West. This campaign is not about politics as usual — it’s about real people, real experiences, and real change. I have spent the last 10 years building a successful local business here in Oxfordshire. Through that journey, I’ve worked with families, businesses, and organisations across our community. I understand the pressures people are facing every day — from rising costs to overstretched services — because I see it first-hand. But my journey hasn’t been easy. I was diagnosed with ADHD, and from a young age I faced challenges, particularly throughout my education. It wasn’t always understood, and that made things harder. Even now, I continue to face the realities of ADHD in day-to-day life. However, those challenges have shaped who I am today. They have given me: Resilience Determination A strong work ethic The ability to think differently and solve problems Alongside my campaign, I am committed to raising awareness of ADHD — both in business and in the wider public. As an ambassador for ADHD, I want to: Help people better understand ADHD Support businesses in creating more inclusive workplaces Break down stigma around neurodiversity Ensure people are not overlooked or misunderstood I believe that everyone deserves to be heard, understood, and supported — regardless of their background or challenges. My reasons for standing are simple: To be a strong, local voice for Bicester West To bring practical, real-world experience into decision-making To stand up for our community and ensure it is not overlooked To represent people who feel unheard I am not a career politician. I am someone who has built a business from the ground up, faced challenges, and understands the realities of everyday life. I will: Listen to residents Stand up for our community Push for practical solutions Work hard to deliver real results My Priorities for Bicester West Getting Development Right Cleaner, Safer, Inclusive Communities Protecting What Matters & Supporting Local Business This campaign is about putting Bicester West first. If you want a candidate who understands both struggle and success, who is committed to the community, and who will work tirelessly on your behalf, I would be honoured to have your support.
