Chippenham MP Sarah Gibson has been re-selected as the Liberal Democrat candidate for the next General Election following a vote by local party members.
The Liberal Democrats require sitting MPs to face a secret ballot of local members if they wish to stand again at the next General Election, a process the party says helps ensure accountability to local members.
Speaking after her re-selection, Ms Gibson reflected on her work since being elected two years ago, including helping residents through constituency casework and campaigning on a number of local issues.
According to the Liberal Democrats, her office has dealt with more than 12,000 pieces of constituency casework since she was elected.
Among the issues she cited was the ongoing landfill smell affecting residents in Calne, where she has pressed the Government for action. She has continued campaigning for progress on the proposed Corsham railway station project and worked to keep the scheme on the agenda with ministers, business leaders and rail operators.
Following flooding in the constituency, Ms Gibson secured a visit from the Flooding Minister to Chippenham to highlight the need for greater investment in flood prevention and river management. She has meanwhile met with local farming communities to discuss concerns affecting the sector.
Looking ahead, she said her priorities include improving transport links, increasing access to jobs and opportunities, and improving housing support for veterans.
Ms Gibson said: "I am delighted and honoured to have been re-selected by local Liberal Democrat members.
"Over the last two years I have worked hard to stand up for residents across our part of Wiltshire, helping thousands of people with local issues while fighting for improvements to transport, flood protection and support for our farming communities.
"There is still much more to do and I look forward to continuing to be a strong voice for local people and delivering the change our communities deserve."
The date of the next General Election has not yet been announced, although it must take place no later than 2030 under current parliamentary rules.
