I am delighted to be re-selected as the Scottish Conservative & Unionist party candidate for the Scottish Borders in the next General Election.
Following a meeting of the local association last week, I received the unanimous support of party members and was again chosen as the Scottish Conservative party candidate.
It has been the privilege of my life to serve as your MP, and I will fight hard to be re-elected and earn the chance to represent you again.
The Scottish Borders is a beautiful and fantastic place to live and work, but local people also face many challenges that deserve our utmost attention.
Too often, the SNP have been distracted from the day job by their obsession with another referendum. They have not focused on what really matters to you and I.
I will keep working hard to get all of the focus onto the top priorities of Borders residents, such as tackling the cost-of-living crisis, reducing NHS waiting times, improving local roads, upgrading rail and bus links, supporting small businesses and delivering more opportunities for young people.
