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.
