Janine Calikes

SNP

I grew up in Rutherglen and Cambuslang and have lived in Rutherglen Central and North for 13 years.

I have a background in support work, currently working for local MSP, Clare Haughey. Dealing with constituent casework on a daily basis gives me in-depth experience of the range of issues and concerns that affect people living in the ward.

As a mum of two children, I am passionate about and have campaigned on many local issues and have volunteered with several community projects, including local parent groups, Toddling Tots, and Rutherglen and Cambuslang Foodbank.

My key objective for Rutherglen Central and North is to help empower the community to make their voice heard at South Lanarkshire Council and to champion local level decision making. As your Rutherglen Central and North SNP councillor, I will listen and represent your voice at South Lanarkshire Council in an open, transparent and accountable way.
