Statement to voters
My professional experience spans 20 years in social care, street fundraising and horticulture.
Full statement
I currently work as office manager for Irene Campbell MP.
Each role has given me insights into the challenges faced by families, workers, and small businesses.
To win this campaign, we need to engage with people directly, on the doorsteps and in our communities. We need to connect with people, listen to their concerns, and fight for them every step of the way.
It’s time to have those difficult conversations to challenge the misinformation and division spread by those who do not have our community’s best interests at heart.
After many long years of SNP incompetence, we need change. We need a new direction.
Our community faces challenges that affect us all: health and economic inequality and a lack of opportunities for young people. This is our chance to make things happen.
Together, we can send a clear message - Cunninghame North deserves better than the SNP. With Anas Sarwar as First Minister and myself in Cunninghame North we can build a fairer, stronger Scotland.
