Stuart McMillan has officially become the SNP candidate in the upcoming Scottish Parliamentary election after submitting his election papers.
Stuart was the Greenock and Inverclyde constituency MSP for the last 5 years and previously was a regional MSP. In 2016 Stuart won the election with a majority of 8,230 obtaining 53.7% of the vote.
After handing in his papers and deposit Stuart said:
“I am delighted to once again be the SNP candidate for the Scottish Parliament elections.
“The last five years have been a challenge for everyone with Brexit and the Covid-19 Pandemic and it ensures that the next Parliamentary session will present more challenges.
“Our constituency and community deserve an MSP who is hard working and can be trusted to work for the community. My staff and I have done that consistently and I once again ask the community to vote for me to be their MSP.
“With Nicola Sturgeon we have seen true leadership throughout this pandemic and that leadership will be necessary to drive Scotland forward as we rebuild our economy.
“The effects of Brexit and Covid will last for many years and that’s why it’s important the people of Scotland have their say about who should be taking Scotland forward. I believe it should be a Scottish Parliament with the normal powers of an independent nation as compared to a UK Government restricting our actions and ability to act. Make no mistake, the power grab from Westminster is real and it poses a threat to the Scottish Parliament.
“Inverclyde is a remarkable place and it’s my home. I want it and Scotland to progress and only with BothVotesSNP can this be achieved.”
