Stafford is a constituency[n 1] represented in the House of Commons of the UK Parliament since 2019 by Theodora Clarke, a Conservative.[n 2]

The seat since its resurrection in 1983 has proven to be somewhat of a bellwether being held always by the incumbent government although it currently has a significantly higher vote share for the Conservatives than the average constituency.
