Thank you
for visiting my website. May I take this opportunity to thank
the volunteers and members of the public whose efforts have
resulted in the election of two Welsh
Conservative candidates from the South Wales East regional
list at the May 2011 elections to the National Assembly
for Wales. Having been re-elected I look forward to
scrutinising the performance of the new Labour-led
Assembly Government as well as championing the excellent
produce, places and businesses that are to be found in the
South Wales East region. The region additionally
overwhelmingly rejected the AV voting method, while
throughout the campaign voters frequently raised concerns
regarding Welsh Labour’s record on major issues such as
the economy and health. Once again thank you for your
interest in my website and please contact my office with
your issues and
queries.
Regards
William
Graham
Conservative AM for South Wales
East.
