Aim: Local SNP campaign to re-elect Jamie Hepburn as the MSP for Cumbernauld and Kilsyth ahead of the Scottish Parliament elections in May 2026.
The candidate
Jamie Hepburn was elected MSP for Cumbernauld and Kilsyth in 2011 and re-elected in 2016 and 2021. He currently serves as Minister for Parliamentary Business in the Scottish Government. Jamie lives in Cumbernauld with his family.
The campaign
Local SNP members are gearing up to help Jamie fight the election next year. However, we do need your help to win. Jamie has a reputation locally as being a hard-working local MSP, and whilst opinion polls still show that the SNP are on course to remain the largest party at the next election we cannot be complacent. We need to work hard to ensure that Cumbernauld and Kilsyth returns a pro-independence SNP MSP.
If you feel able to then we would be extremely grateful if you could donate to our campaign crowdfunder. Our local campaign will be funded entirely by Cumbernauld and Kilsyth SNP and all money raised will be spent in this constituency. We'd love you to help our campaign in any way you can.
What do we need money for?
These are some of the major campaign expenses we need to fund:
Campaign literature - Producing leaflets is the greatest expense of our campaign, and we need the funding to be able to delivery multiple rounds of leaflets through all 30,000 letter boxes in Cumbernauld and Kilsyth. It's really important to get accurate information out to voters and to make it easy for them to get in touch with us.
Letters to voters - While the purpose of leafleting is to ensure a blanket delivery of information across the constituency, writing letters to voters is all about targeted communication and following up on contacts we have made. Our campaigners have already contacted many thousands of electors in Cumbernauld and Kilsyth over previous election campaigns. It's very important to stay in touch with those voters, so we follow up the initial contact with personally addressed letters.
Social Media Campaign – Social media is becoming an increasing feature of election campaigns in Scotland – both nationally and at the local constituency level. We don’t have the millionaire backers of the Westminster based parties and will need to raise thousands of pounds to allow us to pay for targeted social media ads in Cumbernauld and Kilsyth.
Posters & other material - We want to give window posters to any supporter that would like to show their support. A good display of window posters and a high profile ensures everyone knows there is an election on and encourages SNP supporters to get out and vote.
So these are the kinds of things we are asking you to help fund. Fighting a really good local campaign requires money and we want to fight the best campaign possible.
It's really important that we take nothing for granted. Opinion polls may show us in the lead but we are going to campaign for every single vote in this constituency, just as we have always done.
You can donate any amount. Please be assured that any donation, however small or large, will make a real difference and help us secure a decisive win in Cumbernauld and Kilsyth.
If you are kind enough to donate more than £50 to Jamie’s campaign, your name and address will be checked against the electoral register to ensure that you are eligible to donate. Your name, but not your address, will be made available to the council and Electoral Commission on request after the election.
