Karen Lumley (Conservative)
Karen Lumley has been the MP for Redditch for the last 5 years. She says she wants to continue to get the economy back on track.

Rebecca Blake (Labour)

Rebecca Blake (Labour)
Rebecca Blake says she wants safe services to remain at the Alexandra Hospital and says only a Labour government will give the Alex a fighting chance. She says she wants to see investment in more doctors, GPs and homecare workers. She also wants to reduce tuition fees and offer an apprenticeship to every school leaver who wants one.聽

Peter Jewell (UKIP)

Peter Jewell (UKIP)
Peter Jewell says his experience in business could really make a change in Redditch.

He says he also wants to make Redditch a leading town with a lot of employment, good education and good training opportunities.聽

Kevin White (Green)

Kevin White (Green)
Kevin White says he's standing for the common good and against austerity. He says he wants to renationalise the railways and stop further cuts to the NHS. He also wants to stand up for the planet and animals - two qualities which he feels are sorely lacking in Parliament. 聽

Seth Colton (Independent)

Seth Colton (Independent)
