After serious consideration and discussions with local members, I have decided to seek selection to be the SNP candidate for the Banffshire and Buchan Coast constituency at next year’s Scottish Parliament election.

Stewart Stevenson has been a fantastic representative for this constituency and I believe that I have a passion for Independence, and a drive and determination to do right for the people of the North East.

I see the impact that the Tory elite Government in Westminster are having upon the communities throughout Banffshire and Buchan Coast with their haphazard governance, with Brexit have the potential to devastate our coastal communities.

This injustice has spurned me on to seek the selection to be the next SNP MSP for this beautiful constituency and be a powerful voice for those who choose me to represent them.
