I am looking forward to taking part in the democratic process once again.

Full statement

I am standing to give the residents of Dundee City West a new voice instead of the same old one trick ponies we have had in the city for too long. If you are looking for an end to the populist rhetoric we are currently seeing, voting Scottish Liberal Democrat is the way to go about it.

Scottish Liberal Democrats believe in fairness for everyone, no matter who you are or where you come from. We’ve got a realistic plan to get things done.

We will deliver first class heath care so you can see your GP, dentist or mental health specialist when you need them. We’ll help you with the cost of living by insulating cold homes and using Scottish renewable energy to cut bills. We’ll fix our roads, ferries and public transport. We’ll get Scottish education back to its best by expanding pupil support in every school.

Liberal Democrats are winning again, with more councillors, a record number of MPs and more to come.

Dundee City West deserves better. And with the Scottish Liberal Democrats, you can vote for it.
