Paul Hopfensperger

“Paul Hopfensperger (aka "Hoffy") is and has always been devoted to the people who elect him. He believes that’s what being a Politician is all about. Having served his apprenticeship as a Vice Chairman of a political party and becoming Bury St Edmunds Town Councillor for Eastgate Ward in 2003 then Suffolk County Councillor for Tower Division in 2005, he decided to become an Independent Councillor (i.e. not affiliated to any political party) after being told by the party to vote to close down Middle Schools on his Division "or else", despite 18,000 people asking him not to. That was not Paul's idea of representing the people who elected him!”

“Paul is currently an Independent Bury St Edmunds Town Councillor (Deputy Mayor of Bury St Edmunds) and West Suffolk Councillor for St Olaves Ward in Bury St Edmunds, an area he has served as a Councillor since 2005. Paul is standing as an Independent Parliamentary Candidate for Bury St Edmunds at the next General Election on December 12, 2019.”

“It’s Paul's intense dedication, passion, and devotion to represent the people, that fuels Paul's fight for change. Explore his site to learn more about the issues that Paul is concerned with and his plans to tackle the problems faced by his constituents on a daily basis.”
