Thanks to all from Joanna McKenzie, Branch Organiser.
As Jim Fairlie’s Campaign Organiser, I want to thank each and everyone of you for the help and support you gave to achieve the fantastic result of sending Jim to Holyrood with an increased majority. It would not have happened without the commitment of members and supporters throughout the constituency, from pounding the streets to get his message out, to field boards, banners and window posters, social media tweets and everything else.
As someone new to this job, I got endless support and encouragement from the campaign team and I am very grateful to them all.
Wishing Jim all the best and here’s to the next five years.
Yours for Scotland, Joanna McKenzie.
