Why would you like to be elected to the role(s) you are standing for?
I am enthused by the prospect of increasing our Green vote count and representatives in the Holyrood 2026 elections, and in the following year's council elections. Achieving our potential in those elections will be a lot of work and I want to contribute as much as I can to that effort.
Close cooperation between between Comms and Elections & Campaigns will be crucial to our successes. I hope to build on the existing collaborations and help organise efforts such as:
- arranging the design and production of printed campaign materials, as well as Green News
- publicising campaign activities to members, and encouraging their involvment
- coordinating social media posts
- supporting sub-branches, candidates, and campaigns teams with their comms needs
What skills, knowledge and life experience would you bring to the role(s) you are standing for?
The main things that I bring from my working experience, including having run a successful software agency for 10 years, is organisational and collaboration skills.
I am an active member of CEG sub-branch, have served as CEG Comms Officer for 2 years, as election coordinator for Westminster 2024, and have been organising warm-up canvassing sessions for Holyrood 2026.
I have two years experience as a Comms Ordinary Member and have been the main coordinator of Green News for the branch's wards during that time. I have been involved with a range of other group activities such as running the Twitter account (now abandoned), the BlueSky account, branch calendar maintenance, branch meeting tech-support, and attending working group meetings.
