Why would you like to be elected to the role(s) you are standing for?
I’m seeking your support to be re-elected to the (renamed!) Elections and Campaigns Group.
This year is a crucial – and exciting – time to be involved in election campaigning. The Holyrood election is the most important election for the party, and I’m keen to use the experience and skills I’ve developed from helping organise regional and local campaigns for the last two Holyrood elections to help build a winning campaign. If elected, I want to:
- Help organise a campaign that elects at least three Green MSPs in Edinburgh and Lothian East.
- Continue to support sub-branches to build canvassing and campaigning capacity.
- Support an inclusive and accessible campaign that everyone can contribute to.
What skills, knowledge and life experience would you bring to the role(s) you are standing for?
I have extensive election campaign organising experience, and have played a key role in organising campaigns locally and nationally in every election since I joined the party 10 years ago. I’ve been Co-Convenor of the national Elections and Campaigns Committee, and served as branch Co-Convenor between 2021 and 2023. For the past year I’ve served as one of the branch Campaigns Officers.
In my day job I’m a Policy and Public Affairs Manager for a national charity, and live in Gorgie.
It would be an honour to return to the Elections and Campaigns Group, to help deliver our most successful election yet!
