Personal Statement: 

Please re-elect me to the Executive Committee. 
Over the last 6 years, I have demonstrated that I take the role seriously, always coming prepared and being focused on effective and constructive scrutiny of the Party officer bearers to make sure we use the resources we have to support out campaigners across Scotland. 
I joined the Scottish Liberal Party as a student in Glasgow, shortly before merger and as such I was one of the founder members of the Scottish Liberal Democrats. 
I have campaigned for Lib Dem candidates across Scotland and, for the first time, next year I have been selected to fight Bathgate, the seat in which I grew up and went to school, in the Holyrood General election. 
I live in Edinburgh West with my partner and our cat. 

What skills/experience will you bring to the role?

Why vote to re-elect me to the Executive?
I bring the analytical head of an experienced lawyer to the task of scrutinising (constructively) our officer bearers.
I have deep experience of committee service in a variety of contexts and know how to get the best from them.
I come to meetings prepared.
I don’t waste the Committee’s time. 
I work on the ground, campaigning in my local area and beyond and so I know that supporting campaigners is the most important task for the Executive. 

What do you hope to achieve if elected?

If re-elected I will continue to work hard to ensure the Executive is an effective and constructive scrutiny body, as it is set up to be, rather than merely being a talking shop.
