It's been a busy few months for Trudy as just 68 days into her new role as MP for Copeland, the Prime Minister, Theresa May called a snap General Election on Thursday 8th June.
Prior to the General Election announcement on April 18, Trudy recruited her team, chosen for their parliamentary experience, local knowledge and fierce dedication and has met with Secretaries of State from every Government department to discuss issues within the Copeland constituency including health, education and transport.
Trudy also delivered her Maiden Speech in the House of Commons, which was positively received from both local and national media following a glowing write-up in The Times. Trudy made her reference to her predecessor, Jamie Reed, thanking her family including her four teenage daughters for their love and support before voicing her passion and commitment to Copeland and it's people.
Trudy said: "I stood because I want to get on and make things happen, I want to be a part of a pro-active, positive team that makes a tremendous difference to my community.
"I know that as a pioneering hard working and innovative community we can succeed - we have the people with the skills, we have the potential; we have the essential natural resources and a landscape where people love to live, work, learn and invest. We have every reason to be optimistic - to become and asset to the country's economic performance and world leading reputation."
Following the dissolution of Parliament on May 3, Trudy reverted back to the Conservative Candidate for Copeland - firing up her second Election campaign and getting back out on the doorsteps, meeting residents, reinforcing her messages and welcoming Secretaries of States to Copeland to highlight the issues concerning the area.
Putting the wheels in motion, Trudy has since welcomed the Secretary of State for Transport, Chris Grayling to highlight the issues surrounding the A595 and rat runs through various neighbouring villages, the Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs, Andrea Leadsom, visiting local businesses in Keswick who had been affected by flooding and the Secretary of State for International Affairs, Liam Fox, where they visited West Cumbria Mining.
