Andy Graham is the parliamentary candidate for the Liberal Democrats at the Clacton by-election that was caused by the resignation of Tory MP Douglas Carswell who defected to the UK Independence Party, forcing the vote on 9 October 2014 - just seven months before next year's General Election.

Andy Graham told the Herts & Essex Observer:

"People can make their own minds up, but it's costing £100,000 for a by-election that didn't need to be called. I believe he should have waited and I'm sure I do not speak alone - but now we have the by-election, let's give it a chance."

Andy Graham is the former mayor and local councillor of Bishops Stortford in Hertfordshire and was formerly a teacher in Clacton.[1]

A professional actor on stage and TV, Andy Graham brought the stage version of "Sense and Sensibility" to Clacton's West Cliff Theatre 10 years ago and says:

"I am hoping to bring some 'Sense and Sensibility' to Clacton in this by-election".
