Kieran Mullan (born 6 June 1984)[1] is a British Conservative Party politician who was elected as the Member of Parliament (MP) for Crewe and Nantwich at the 2019 general election.
Early life and career[]
Mullan was born in 1984.[1] He grew up in social housing.[2] His mother is a nurse and his father is a policeman.[3] Mullan studied medicine at the Leeds School of Medicine.[4] In 2008, he was an account executive for the public relations firm Weber Shandwick.[5] From 2009 to 2013, he worked for the advocacy group Patients Association.[6][7][8] In 2013, he contributed to a government review into the NHS Hospitals complaints system.[9] The following year, Mullan founded the charity ValueYou in Ealing, London which aimed to recognise volunteers.[10] He has also worked as a volunteer special constable for four years and as an emergency medicine doctor.[3]
Political career[]
Mullan unsuccessfully contested elections for two seats in the Midlands: Birmingham Hodge Hill in 2015,[11] and Wolverhampton South East in 2017.[12]
He was selected as the Conservative candidate for the Crewe and Nantwich seat in September 2018.[13] At the time of his selection Mullan was a clinical lead at the Healthcare Quality Improvement Partnership.[14] He won the marginal seat for the Conservatives, defeating the incumbent Labour Party MP Laura Smith, by 8,508 votes.[15][16] It was thought that pro-Brexit sentiment in the constituency contributed to the win.[17][18] During his election victory speech he said he would "speak up for, and work for, staff" at the NHS and increase the number of GPs.[2]
Mullan has been a member of the Justice Select Committee since March 2020.[19]
