Standing on the same street I played on as a child, it made me very proud to officially launch my by-election campaign this week. It was a great moment to stand outside my home in front of my family, neighbours and supporters and set out my vision for the place I have grown up.
After the launch I was straight back out on the campaign trail going from door to door speaking to local people and that is what I will keep doing. As well as meeting people on the doorstep, I visit some great initiatives going on in the community and it was a privilege to spend time with staff at Good Morning Glasgow. Each day they call elderly people in the area to make sure they are doing OK – it is an excellent project and one that illustrates the community spirit here in Glasgow North East.
I’ll be back with another update soon. In the meantime, read my PPC Profile here.
