Cllr David Macdonald - An Independent voice for people
22 December at 15:00 ·

Every constituency deserves an Independent choice on the ballot. 🙂

It is with a great sense of honour and privilege to formally announce my independent candidacy for election to become your MSP for the Eastwood constituency.

We have just under 5 months until Eastwood residents vote for who they want to represent them in the 6th Scottish Parliament at Holyrood.

I will always seek to represent you all to the best of my ability and being an Independent you will be guaranteed that I will never serve the interests of a political party.

No matter what your political leanings I will always seek to serve your best interests at all times as constituents of this wonderful area of Eastwood.

To my fellow candidates who have formally been announced,

Katie Pragnell for The Scottish Labour Party,

Jackson Carlaw MSP for The Scottish Conservatives and

my colleague at ERC, Cllr. Colm Merrick for the Scottish National Party,

I wish you all the best of luck with your respective campaigns and look forward to competing with all of you before the people of Eastwood decide a winner.
