Last month Andy Wightman announced he was standing as an Independent candidate for the Highlands & Islands in the May elections (see here).
To be elected he says he will need around 15,000 votes.

Andy has now launched a crowdfunder to raise £10,000 to help support his election campaign to include the development of a digital campaigning platform, newsletters and media and communications support.

Done.
Done today.
Please help if you can. Andy is a great campaigner on a number of issues including raptor persecution and land reform. He has been an influential MSP in the Scottish Parliament. We need to elect him as an independent MSP for the Highlands to continue to put pressure on a likely future SNP government to improve their poor environmental record.
We saw Andy speak at Hen Harrier day in Grantown on Spey in 2018, he was inspirational. Money donated today to try and get Andy re-elected in May.
