I’m passionate about our South Scotland region and want what’s best for people living here.
I stood for the Scottish Parliament in 2016 because I believed South Scotland was too often Scotland’s forgotten region and communities like Ayrshire were being left behind.
I was proud to be elected and since then I’ve worked hard to try to be a strong voice for Ayrshire in Parliament.
Working hard for Ayrshire
But I need your support to continue to stand up for Ayrshire.
Voting is underway to select Labour’s regional list candidates for the South of Scotland- and I’m asking you to use your FIRST preference votes to re-select me.
Vote Colin Smyth number 1
I’ve been humbled by the support I’ve received right across Ayrshire.
Support from across Ayrshire
Please use your FIRST preference vote to re-select me as South Scotland MSP and your other preference to choose who else you want to join Labour’s team- and I’ll campaign with you to help get them elected.
I will fight to ensure that the next Parliament is a COVID recovery Parliament- not one distracted by another divisive referendum. We need a Parliament that prioritises a jobs plan for Ayrshire, fixing our education system, real action on the environment, investment in our NHS and social care and puts an end to council cuts and the centralisation of services.
With your support- your FIRST preference votes- I’m determined to ensure Labour wins again here in Ayrshire- and across South Scotland.
How to vote
I know this is a tough time for our region. My priority as your South Scotland MSP remains supporting our community to get through this pandemic. If you or anyone you know needs support or help on any issue, please get in touch.
