Dear friend,<br />

I have been an active member of the Labour Party <strong>for</strong> many<br />

years and a proud trade unionist <strong>for</strong> even longer.<br />

My ideals were shaped by my early life in Maryhill and in Red<br />

Road and the people in those communities and communities<br />

like them inspire me every day.<br />

I never cease to be amazed by the resilience of people in the<br />

communities of <strong>Glasgow</strong> and the way they work together to<br />

make life better <strong>for</strong> their areas.<br />

“<br />

Politics <strong>for</strong> me is about adding my support and the support of<br />

the wider movement to their ef<strong>for</strong>ts and I know that it is only<br />

the Labour Party that can make a real difference in their<br />

lives.<br />

As an elected member I have listened to my constituents and<br />

have worked with them to protect local transport links and<br />

local services. When many of my constituents raised with me<br />

the fact that they couldn’t resolve problems with their property<br />

factor I changed the law to regulate the industry.<br />

I will continue to stand up <strong>for</strong> my home city of <strong>Glasgow</strong> in<br />

the weeks and months ahead and I want to be part of a<br />

strong team of MSPs with the passion and experience to make<br />

a difference.<br />

I ask <strong>for</strong> your support.<br />

Yours in unity,<br />

Patricia <strong>Ferguson</strong>
