Simon Jupp is the Conservative MP for East Devon.

Simon was born in Devon and most of his family still live in the county. He previously worked as a radio presenter for East Devon’s local station Radio Exe and was part of the launch team of Radio Plymouth. Simon also worked for the BBC and ITV, working his way up to become the manager of BBC Radio Solent in Dorset.

He swapped journalism for politics to make a difference and improve people's lives, working his way up to advising the Foreign Secretary and First Secretary of State, Dominic Raab and the Mayor of the West of England.

In his spare time, Simon enjoys walking our stunning coastline and countryside with his family and friends.
