Bury St Edmunds and Stowmarket
Scott Hussey

I am proud to be your parliamentary candidate for Bury St Edmunds and Stowmarket. I decided to stand at this election because I believe that I can make a difference and because, no doubt like you, of my frustration with incompetent governance and political leadership.

I was born in Bury St Edmunds and grew up nearby, so I know this beautiful part of the country very well. I have lived and worked in many countries, but this special area will always be home to me.

I want to use my skills and experience to address the issues that matter to you and to contribute to rebuilding our country. I can think of no greater privilege than to represent you in parliament.

I hold a Master’s degree in international relations from Pembroke College, University of Cambridge, an advanced degree in newspaper journalism from City, University of London, plus a first-class undergraduate degree in psychology from the University of Durham.

I have lived around the world working for the United Nations and development agencies on projects delivering humanitarian aid, better public health, HIV protection, and improved nutrition and agriculture, including in Afghanistan, Zambia, Bangladesh, and Samoa. I have also lived in Hong Kong and China. I now want to deliver change for my own country and local area. Before my career in international development, I worked as a reporter at a national newspaper.
