Colin Burgon MP

Representing Elmet since 1997

Colin was born and brought up in Leeds and lives in the heart of the constituency.  Local issues have always been at the centre of his campaigning - a fact recognized by constituents who have now elected him three times as their representative.  In the 2005 general election, he was one of a handful of labour MPs to increase their majority.
