What the expert says...
Main Challengers to Campbell
Mike Ross, Lib Dem candidate, is priced at 3/1 and represents the most credible threat to Campbell’s ambitions.
His experience in local government and campaign focus on education, transport, and cost-of-living support have earned him significant backing.
Anne Handley (Conservative) follows at 7/1, campaigning on a platform of business growth and strengthening the rural economy but faces national headwinds affecting Conservative candidates elsewhere.
Margaret Pinder (Labour) is a 12/1 outsider, despite Labour’s traditional strength in parts of East Yorkshire.
