Evan Macdonald (he/him)

Having been a member of the party and the Edinburgh branch for almost 5 years, I am keen to get involved in supporting the branch heading into the 2027 Edinburgh council elections. Leafletting, canvassing and attending the count for the 2022 Edinburgh council elections was how I first got involved in the party and I know from seeing the party's success in the recent Holyrood election we have a real shot at really turning Edinburgh green next year so I would love a chance to join the committee as an ordinary member for one of the working groups to play a part in (hopefully!) getting a record number of Edinburgh councillors elected!

I have held many roles across mulitple levels of the party. Currently, I'm the Membership Officer for the Young Greens, however I've previously been on the Comms and Policy & Campaigns working group, as well as Clerk for the Central Edinburgh Greens and Co-Convener of the Lothian Young Greens (which I'm working on reviving with the new regional boundaries!). These roles have given me wide knowledge of the party that I hope will enable me to contribute to the branch. Outside of the party, I am currently the trade union rep for my workplace in the culture sector and I'm in my 3rd year studying Social Sciences. This has furthered my political knowledge which I hope to use as part of the Campaigns group. Thank you for your consideration!
