YES if Ben Houchen wins the 2024 Tees Valley mayoral election.

NO if he does not.

• The 2024 Tees Valley mayoral election takes place on May 2nd 2024.

• Incumbent Ben Houchen is standing for the Conservatives and Chris McEwan for Labour.

• Houchen took 72.8% of the vote in the last election in 2021. However, both the limited local polling and Labour's strong performance in national polls suggest that this will be a much more competitive election.
