Lord Ashdown said Cheltenham had always been a "bedrock of strength" for the Lib Dems.
"This is a really important election. We always say that, but this is important because people's jobs will rest on it according to the decisions we take about how to get out of the financial mess we're in," he said.
Lord Ashdown said the second important issue was "adapting our lifestyle in order to be able to preserve our world for our children".
He said: "The Lib Dems have been clear and consistent on that long before it was fashionable.
"Martin Horwood has been an outstanding local MP for everybody. He's fought for green spaces, for the station, and for the hospital. He's a tremendous campaigner.
