I can now announce that I have been voted by Lib Dem members as one of the seven candidates on the Mid Scotland & Fife regional list for the 2011 Scottish Parliamentary elections. Former MP for Dunfermline & West Fife Willie Rennie took the top place while Fife councillor Tim Brett was number two on the list.
The Mid Scotland & Fife regions covers all of Fife and parts of Clackmannanshire, Perthshire and Stirling and the full Lib Dem list is:
1- Willie Rennie
2 – Tim Brett
3 – James Taylor
4 – Peter Barrett
5 – Jane Ann Liston
6 – Russell Auld
7 – Callum Leslie
I'd like to thank all those Liberal Democrat members who voted for me and I'm looking forward to campaigning alongside the other candidates over the coming months on the big issues of jobs, public sector reform and restoring Scotland’s reputation for excellence in education.
