It'll be really exciting to be on the committee in the year ahead of Holyrood 2026. We'll be standing candidates in every constituency, effectively leading the way in raising the party's profile nationally. We'll be taking ever more space in the public discourse on deciding Scotland's future, in tackling the climate crisis, addressing global injustices, particularly the ongoing genocide in Palestine, and bringing the country closer to independence. The party is taking action to improve the diversity of our elected representatives. A lot of work will be needed to support our underrepresented Holyrood candidates and maintain equal gender representation in the councillor group as we select for local authority elections next year.

I have been on the branch committee for 3 years now, serving as a communications officer for the past 2 years. In this time, the comms team has worked effectively in a way that has let us engage in the roles that interest us and develop individually. Together we have made considerable progress in the quality of branch comms, in Green News, social media graphics, video production and member emails. I've also been the party clerk for over a year. My experience on the National Executive and Council will allow me to represent the branch effectively. I now seek the opportunity to facilitate the committee as a whole to continue to achieve great things! If elected onto the committee, I will not be running again for national officer/convenorship.
