Jack McConnel for Galloway & West Dumfries
Dalbeattie, Dumfries and Galloway, United Kingdom
Aim
Winning Galloway & West Dumfries for more jobs, better services and a fair deal for our region.
Galloway & West Dumfries is forgotten. We all know it. That's what people tell me every day on the doorstep. That, and a lack of infrastructure investment, declining services - like the lack of maternity services in Wigtownshire - patients who wait too long, and roads riddled with potholes.
It's the result of unfair funding for our region and a lack of infrastructure investment - because of ineffective Tory representation and a failing SNP government. This means fewer good jobs and more depopulation. I'm born and bred Dumfries & Galloway but like too many people I moved away for study and work, another depopulation statistic. But I came back. My future is here and that's why I'm standing to be our candidate.
And Scottish Labour can win here. We made Dumfries & Galloway a genuine three horse race in 2024, we've held the council before, and we had an excellent MP in Russell Brown. We can do it again.
But that will need your help. We receive no funding, but we need to print leaflets and spend on advertising to get our message to as many people as possible. If you're able, please consider contributing to our campaign.
For an idea of sums:
£15 can buy 250 A5 calling cards
£40 can buy 500 high quality A4 double sided A4 leaflets
£100 pays for social media that can reach ~10,000 constituents
£1500 can pay for a freepost to cover every household in the constituency
Every £ really does help us to get the message so please give whatever you can afford.
Rules:
Dumfries & Galloway RLP may contact you using the information you supply in order to discharge their legal responsibilities to ensure donations are from permissible sources. Donations to meet the costs of candidate election expenses are regulated by the Representation of the People Act 1983 and the Political Parties, Elections and Referendums Act 2000. By making a donation to this campaign I understand and accept the following:
- I am donating to the Dumfries & Galloway Regional Labour Party for Jack McConnel's 2026 Scottish Parliamentary campaign in the Galloway & West Dumfries constituency.
- I must use my own funds to make a donation to the Labour Party. Donations may not be passed on from a third party. It is an offence not to reveal the true source of a donation.
- If I donate more than £500, checks will be made to ensure my name is listed on the UK electoral register (excluding the Channel Islands and the Isle of Man). Any single donations of £500 or under are not regulated donations under electoral law, and therefore the donor would not be required to be on the UK Electoral Register.
- If I donate more than £2,230 to a Constituency Labour Party or more than £11,180 to the national Labour Party in a calendar year, my name and the amount of the donation will be published on the Electoral Commission's website, although my home address will not be made public.
- Donations to political parties are not tax-deductible.
- This donation facility is provided for individuals to make donations to the Labour Party. UK companies, Limited Liability Partnerships, Trade Unions and Unincorporated Associations may also make donations to the Labour Party.
*Permissibility checks will be carried out on individual donors in compliance with the rules laid out by the Electoral Commission on donations in election campaigns. You will be contacted to obtain this information. Donor details may be published.*
