Jordan Newell knows Colchester. A former Colchester Sixth Form College student, he is active within the local community, volunteering with local charities and supporting local organisations.

But don't take our word for it, here's what other people think.

"In Jordan Newell, Colchester has a strong, determined and effective candidate who will put local needs first. He lives in Colchester, believes in Colchester and will give all of his efforts for Colchester. His commitment to his town is exactly what the people of Colchester need from their MP."

Rt Hon Gordon Brown MP
Prime Minister


“I’m delighted to endorse Jordan as our PPC. He is young, energetic, knowledgeable and enthusiastic with experience of parliament having worked for Ivan Henderson in the past. Importantly he lives in Colchester and is therefore in touch with local issues and can respond to local concerns. I, and the Labour Group on the Borough Council, look forward to working with him so that, together, we can achieve the best for Colchester.”

Cllr Tim Young
Leader of Colchester Borough Council Labour Group

"Jordan Newell has time and again proven his passion for Colchester. He is the only candidate who genuinly cares about the individual concerns within our community. My experiences of Jordan have been personal and positive, his care for students rights is unprecedented. His grassroots work with international students, and home students alike is the reason why I am so motivated to endorse him as a Parliamentary candidate. Colchester needs an MP of the people, Jordan is someone who can deliver this."

Ibby Mehmet
President, University of Essex Students' Union

"Jordan has a proven track record of working and supporting the local voluntary sector, not just in Colchester but across Essex. His work with Colchester CVS is a clear indication to me of his commitment to  Colchester and to serving those we seek to support within the CVS movement"
