Aaron took Bishop Auckland from Labour by 995 votes at the third attempt , standing as a Liberal National.
Aaron stood for Houghton-le-Spring in 1923 and 1924 but couldn't get within 4,000 votes of Labour. He contested Wallsend at a by-election in 1926 but came a distant third. He first contested Bishop Auckland at a by-election in 1929 when Ruth Dalton won it to keep it warm for her husband.
