5 reasons why you should vote for me
I am a mother of two, grew up in Ayrshire, and attended Girvan Primary and Auchinleck Academy.
I worked in the NHS for 17 years building up a wealth of experience around the needs of people.
Today I run a small family business in Mauchline and am a well known community activist.
With your support I will work tirelessly to give Carrick, Cumnock and Doon Valley an MSP to be proud of.
It’s time we had an MSP who is local and puts the needs of the constituency first.
Here are my 5 election pledges: I will...
Strive for the investment needed to bring new sustainable jobs to our area.
Support Labour’s plans to restart the NHS by tackling the cancer backlog, resourcing mental health services, especially for young people, rebuilding social care and making sure frontline staff are properly rewarded.
Fight for our schools and colleges to get the catch up funding they need.
Tackle poverty by backing decent family incomes, ending food poverty and building affordable homes.
Give real powers back to the local council and our communities instead of using arguments about the constitution as an excuse to get nothing done.
I will never take our area for granted. If you elect me to go to Holyrood, we will all go together. I believe these are good reasons to vote for me and Scottish Labour. Please use both your votes for Scottish Labour on May 6.
