Michael Heffernan (he/him)

Over the last few years, our branch has really come a long way. I have played a small part in that by maintaining a strong, consistent branch social media prescence as a member of the comms group.

I'd love the opportunity to continue contributing to our branch social media in what is looking to be another landmark political opportunity for our party and movement.

I'm happy to either be the Social Media Officer or Ordinary Member.

I maintained much of our branch social media during the 2025 Fountainbridge-Craiglockhart by-election and the recent Scottish Parliament election. I've a strong understanding of Instagram and Bluesky, and remain very excited about the opportunities of TikTok, subject to the capacity of the next comms group.

As a past Scottish Young Greens' International Officer and as someone who often works in and around the third sector, I've build strong political awareness. I was also a member of the 'core group' for the aformentioned by-election and Scottish Parliament election.

I am also a student, so I have the flexibility needed to contribute to the work of the branch and campaign.
