This is a time for Scotland to come together and build a recovery that leaves no one behind. My focus is firmly on that - creating jobs, an education catch up, rebuilding our NHS and care services, tackling the climate emergency and making sure people have a decent income and food on the table. Nothing else should distract us. 
The last thing we need right now is an argument about another referendum. The SNP have underfunded our councils and sucked jobs out of this constituency. We need to bring power back from Holyrood to our local communities. For the last five years we have had an MSP who wasn’t prepared to stand up for this constituency and challenge the SNP Government when it got things wrong. It’s time for a strong local voice - someone who is on your side. 
I was born here and went to school at Girvan Primary and then Auchinleck Academy. I still live and work in the constituency. I want to put all the old arguments about Yes/No, Leave/Remain behind us and bring people together, united in tackling the things that really matter in everyday life.
I can promise you I will never take our area for granted, and 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 so please use both your votes for Scottish Labour and make this happen.
