Richard 'S Profile
I was elected as Member of Parliament for Watford in May 2010. Since then I have been working hard in both Watford and Westminster, fighting for the people of Watford on the issues that matter most to them.
I was the first person in my family to go to University, being lucky enough to study law at Oxford, and after graduation I started working in the Trewins Department store in Watford (now John Lewis) and eventually left to start up a property business with 2 friends. After 20 years in business I went to work full time for the Variety Club Children's Charity, before being selected to stand for Watford in December 2008.
I am lucky enough to have two grown up children with my wife Jessie.
