The final contenders in the race to become the next Conservative Parliamentary candidate for Montgomeryshire have been revealed.

The four candidates include a former RAF pilot, a county councillor, a former MP, and the Head of Brexit research at Deutsche Bank.

On Saturday (July 20) Montgomeryshire Conservative members will gather to select their new Parliamentary candidate.

They have been shortlisted to replace Glyn Davies after he announced that he would stand down as MP after nine years.

Mr Davies confirmed in May that he would not put himself forward as the Parliamentary candidate at the next General Election, currently expected in 2022.

The four candidates through to the final round of selection are:

Oliver Harvey

Raised in Meifod, Mr Harvey's day job as Deutsche Bank’s Head of Brexit Research involves close study of the topic currently at the forefront of everyone’s minds. Among other outlets, he has written for The Times on the economic performance of the UK since the referendum. Prior to his work in financial services, he took a Master’s degree in Political Science at Universidad de Los Andes in Bogota, Colombia, where he also wrote for a weekly current affairs magazine on international relations.

Cllr Amanda Jenner

County Times:

A councillor for Trewern, she was first elected to Powys County Council in 2017. Cllr Jenner previously worked as a solicitor, and is also a qualified secondary school teacher and former private tutor. Alongside her council work, she is a local school governor and sits on the Powys Fostering Panel.

Dom Morris

County Times:

A fourth-generation farmer, working on the family farm in the Cotswolds, Mr Morris began his career as a pilot in the RAF but broke his back in flying training. He later worked for the Prince’s Trust getting disadvantaged young people back into work, before working as a Political Officer in Afghanistan, Syria and the response to Hurricane Irma in the Caribbean, among other locations. He sits on the DWP’s Social Security Advisory Committee, and was recently appointed to the Cotswolds Area Of Natural Beauty Board. Mr Morris contested the Exeter constituency in the 2015 General Election.

Craig Williams

County Times:

Mr Williams is from Welshpool, and at one time worked for Glyn Davies a researcher in the Welsh Assembly. As MP for Cardiff North from 2015 to 2017, during which time he served as a parliamentary private secretary (PPS) to David Gauke, Mr Williams lost his seat despite increasing his vote. Since April he has been a Special Adviser to the Brexit Secretary. He stood against Rhodri Morgan in the 2007 Welsh Assembly elections, cut his political teeth as a Cardiff City Councillor between 2008 and 2015, and contested the Cardiff South and Penarth by-election in 2012 before succeeding Jonathan Evans as MP for Cardiff North.
