Adam Holloway
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Adam James Harold Holloway (born 1965) is a British politician and is the Conservative MP for Gravesham.
Adam Holloway was educated at Cambridge University where he was awarded a master's degree in Social and Political Sciences and at Imperial College London where he earned a Master of Business Administration. Before entering parliament he served in the British Army with the Grenadier Guards and worked as a journalist. During his military career he saw active combat in the Gulf War.
He was elected in the 2005 General Election for the Kent constituency of Gravesham, defeating the Labour minister, Chris Pond by just 654 votes, acquiring one of the largest swings from Labour to Conservative in the country at 4.9%. This was the first time since the Second World War that Gravesham (or its predecessor, the Gravesend constituency) had not been held by the party of government.
He made his maiden speech on June 28, 2005. He also spoke alongside U.S. Congressman John Shimkus to students on the campus of Southern Illinois University Edwardsville (SIUE) on 15 September, 2006.
