Statement to voters
David is the Reform candidate for Edinburgh Northwestern, bringing nearly 30 years of policing experience – much of which as a detective dealing with serious and organised crime.
Since retiring from the police in 2016, he has remained active in his community, serving as a community councillor and now working as an independent driving instructor.
Motivated by concerns about declining public services, David is standing to deliver practical, common-sense solutions that put people first.
