As the lead candidate for the Scottish Greens in the Highlands and Islands, I am working to keep our Green seat which John Finnie currently occupies at Holyrood. As you probably know he is retiring at the end of this cycle.

The elections are on 6 May 2021 and we have a lot of work to do before then to make sure we keep that seat.

In 2020 we need to lay the foundations for a successful outcome in 2021. I'm traveling around the region - which includes the following constituencies: Argyll and Bute Caithness, Sutherland and Ross (Highland) Inverness and Nairn (Highland) Moray Na h-Eileanan an Iar Orkney Shetland Skye, Lochaber and Badenoch (Highland)

The purpose of my travels includes - canvassing to find out where our Green voters are, finding out more about local issues and letting people know they will have two votes and how to use their List vote for the Scottish Greens. Any support you can give me to keep things going over the year would be greatly appreciated. When I'm not on the road I will be busy working out where the best places are for us to campaign and making a videos to let voters know that the Scottish Greens exist and what we stand for.

At some point, this year Highlands and Islands and Argyll and Bute branches will run fundraising campaigns to raise funds for a paid role of Campaign Coordinator/Manager and campaign materials.

The SGP Women's Network will run a 6-week Crowdfunder campaign for me towards the end of March.

So you have lots of opportunities to support the Holyrood Campaign financially.

Thank you for considering supporting me to get the campaign going and sustain it throughout 2020.
