Personal Statement.

The diverse urban, rural and fishing communities of northeast Scotland
enjoy an enviable quality of life and overall, but not uniform, prosperity,
which is increasingly threatened by an inadequate roads network, high transportation costs, and the failure of central government to recognise
and tackle our problems.

Among these are the NHS, drugs and youth crime, and the needs of agriculture, fishing and other local industries, all of which ought to be addressed urgently.

Through many years of political and public service, and my wide network of contacts throughout the northeast and beyond, I have built up a clear understanding of the issues facing us.

I believe in hard work, in listening as well as talking, and in being accessible to, and honest with, the people I represent.

I have the experience and ability to be an effective voice for Gordon and northeast Scotland, and relish the thought of “fighting my corner” as part of a strong Conservative team in Edinburgh.
