On March 8, he met with Cllr Gill Slocombe, Cllr Suria Aujla, and Cllr Rachael Lilley at the town hall. They represent Bridgwater West, Huntspill and have made significant contributions to the wellbeing of Bridgwater.
Ashley Fox said: "I want to thank Gill, Suria and Rachel for their service to their communities. If I am elected as Bridgwater's MP, I will look to them to guide and advise me in my new role. They are role models to women and girls thinking of serving in public life."
He added, "International Women’s Day is an important opportunity to celebrate women in our community who set strong examples for others, and I am committed to making Bridgwater a safe and vibrant place for everyone."
Ms Slocombe, elected in 1999, said: "Today, we celebrate the achievements and contributions of women worldwide. From entrepreneurs to leaders, women make our communities stronger."
Ms Aujla said: "I am proud to be a member of a party that has made three women Prime Minister. Conservatives have always supported and backed inspirational women and I want to ensure we continue to do so."
Ms Lilley, elected in 2015, added: "I want more women and girls to come forward and stand for election. If you’re interested in becoming an MP one day, please get in touch."
