Lewis stood at the Conservative candidate for Sherwood in the 2001 general election, achieving a swing of 4.7% to the Conservatives. The re-elected Labour MP Paddy Tipping blamed the fall in his majority on 'a fall in voter turn-out' ["Newark Advertiser"] . In the 2005 general election Lewis was Campaign Manager for Eric Pickles in the Brentwood and Ongar constituency. Pickles more than recovered the ground he had lost at the previous election to Martin Bell who had challenged him as an Independent, and the Conservative share of the vote increased from 37% to 53%. Lewis has been placed on the 'A-List' of Conservative Party candidates ahead of the next general election, and has been selected as the Conservative candidate for Great Yarmouth for the General Election expected in 2009/2010 [
