Toby Williams
Conservative Campaigner & District Councillor
MEET TOBY WILLIAMS
After falling in love with a girl from Braintree in Essex and getting married, we chose wonderful East Anglia as the place we wanted to start a family. I am immensely fortunate to live in a beautiful corner to Essex with Hannah and our baby son, Arthur.
I am proud to be a councillor, representing the brilliant people of Witham Central on Braintree District Council - a marginal ward which I kept blue at the 2023 local elections, despite the difficult politcal backdrop for the Conservatives.
I was deeply honoured to be selected to fight the December 2019 General Election as the Conservative candidate for Mitcham and Morden. I was proud to increase the Conservative share of the vote – against the trend in London, reduce Labour’s majority by 5,000 and secure the biggest swing to the Conservatives since 1983.
My professional background is in transport, having worked in rail before moving into my current role in aviation. Prior to my career in transport, I worked in policing, which equipped me with an understanding of how our streets can be made safer and more secure.
I also have extensive professional experience of politics, having worked for a former Member of Parliament, and the Conservative group on the London Assembly.
In April 2019 I was selected as a London Assembly candidate, being placed at number six on the Conservatives’ London-wide list. I was proud to be part of the team of candidates who took the fight to Sadiq Khan and ultimately helped to increase the number of Conservative Assembly Members at City Hall.
Outside of work and politics, I am passionate about tackling educational disadvantage and thoroughly enjoyed being a primary school governor for three years. I am also a volunteer for the National Association for Children of Alcoholics.
Yours,
Toby Williams
