    Statement

    What do I want to see?

    • Rent controls - housing is a human right, not a place to make profit

    • Tackle inequality - protect disadvantaged people

    • Raise pay in social care - to improve standards

    • Affordable community-led spaces - community diners, social supermarkets

    • Fix potholes - core issues build trust with voters

    • Increase efficiency in Council - people need results now

    • Electric car and bikeshare schemes - making daily life easier and greener

    • Integrate and expand public transport - one ticket travel, prioritise new South Sub tram/train line

    • Local Economics - Preston model circular economy

    Why me?

    I founded and led an Ecovillage community for over 5 years

    I created, led and facilitated a network of over 30 charities and community organisations.

    I have worked alongside Councillors, MSPs and MPs to achieve concrete results for my communities

    I created and run a local group in Edinburgh in which men provide free mentoring for teenage boys

    I believe I am somebody with the skills to get things done

    I’ve been homeless, I’ve lived on benefits, I’ve worked zero-hours, on farms, in offices, at Sighthill industrial estate, in Niddrie and Balerno as a youth worker

    I’ve run my own business, I’ve been to university, I’ve been an immigrant, I’m a father

    I’ve been an environmental and social activist for over 25 years

    I can connect with a wide variety of people

    I want to make the Scottish Greens THE choice for ordinary people and realise our vision of the best possible future for all!
