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>
