I have represented this community for the last nine years and would be honoured to be elected for a third term. It has been a pleasure to represent our community at a local and national level and I would relish the opportunity to continue to do my best for An Taobh Siar agus Nis.
I strive to listen to what the people of our area want, to act honestly, to represent you all as well as I can and to fight for what is right for our islands as a whole. If elected, my promise is that I will do my best.
There will continue to be challenges for the Comhairle and the Western Isles as a whole in the next few years but I would wish to ensure An Taobh Siar agus Nis and all our communities are best represented. In particular I would like to see a reduction in living costs, jobs being retained and created in our islands and opportunities for young people to stay or return.
Tha e air a bhith na urram mhòr a bhith a’ riochdachadh An Taobh Siar agus Nis chunna seo. Tha sinn uile cinnteach gum bi dùbhlain mu choinneamh nan eilean agus a’ Chomhairle sna bliadhnaichean ri teachd. Tha aon ghealladh agams’ agus is e sin gun dèan mi mo dhìcheall dhuibh uile ann an Taobh Siar agus Nis.
Vote ‘1’ for John Mackay on 3rd May.
