Sir, – I am deeply honoured to have the opportunity and privilege to serve the Richmond constituency as its Member of Parliament.
Thank you to everyone for your support and kindness. I was struck by the warmth I received as I knocked on your doors and held meetings in your villages.
I know I have large shoes to fill, and I will be working very hard for our community, both here and in Parliament. We are fortunate to live in one of the most special parts of the country – ensuring it stays this way and continues to thrive is my priority.
I look forward to hearing your thoughts, remaining accessible, and being responsive in helping you and your families. I shall be starting surgeries soon and will publicise details widely.
Thank you again for the trust you have placed in me.
RISHI SUNAK
Member of Parliament for Richmond (Yorks)
