Bexleyheath & Crayford Conservatives have chosen their candidate to fight the St. Michael’s Ward by-election being held on Thursday 30th June 2016.
The candidate will be Ray Sams, who represented the Ward from 2006 to 2014 and served as Deputy Mayor before being elected Mayor for 2011/12.
After being born and educated in Welling, Ray started his professional career as a lecturer in Motor Vehicle Engineering at Bexley College.
He has been an active member of the Mayor of Bexley's Charity Committee for over 25 years, raising money for many local and very worthy causes.
Ray commented “I am delighted to have been chosen by St. Michaels’ Conservatives to fight this Council by-election for our Party. My eight years representing the residents of the Ward and dealing with their issues were thoroughly enjoyable and I am very much hoping to do so again after the by-election.”
