James Hockney is the Conservative Party Candidate for the Barnsley Central by-election, having fought the neighbouring seat Barnsley East at the last general election.
James says:"It is a real privilege to be standing for Barnsley Central. Having previously campaigned in the seat just next door, I have got a real understanding of the issues and concerns of Barnsley's residents and local businesses.
"I am a Trustee locally for the children's charity, the Red Balloon Learner Centre in South Yorkshire. If elected as the next MP for Barnsley Central I will passionately fight for jobs, investment and a brighter future for the community."
