Wright was a Town Councillor in Oakengates 1989-2000 and a Wrekin District Councillor from 1989-97. He was elected Member of Parliament (MP) for Telford in the 2001 general election.[2] In June 2009 he became a government whip.

On 15 February 2010 he became involved in a scandal when an entry on his Twitter microblog called Conservative Party members "scum sucking pigs", although he claimed his account had been hacked.[3] He then claimed, despite it being impossible, that his tweets had been edited after being posted.[4]
