Martin Bartos sets out to gain first Green constituency seat
Saturday 14 April – Dr Martin Bartos today launched his full time campaigning for the Glasgow Kelvin seat in the Scottish Parliament. He joined fellow Green Party Holyrood candidates Patrick Harvie and Rosemary Burnett at the Partick Farmer's Market, where the Glasgow Green Party regularly runs a stall.
As the Scottish Green Party's only Holyrood constituency candidate, Martin is enthusiastic about the opportunity to engage directly with Glasgow Kelvin voters:
"Glasgow Kelvin has always been one of the Green's strongest election areas, which is why we've made an exception and are standing a constituency candidate. Voters here want to use all of their votes to vote Green.
"Talking to people on the street, there's an overwhelming desire to see environmental issues taken more seriously. Over the next three weeks I hope to meet as many people as possible and explain why voting Green makes most sense if you share our concerns for climate change, public transport, local health care, poverty and civil liberties."
Martin will be out and about in the constituency over the next three weeks. Look out for the large green rosette, and don't be surprised if you spot him cycling along on his green folding bike!
If you're a community group and would like to meet Martin in the run-up to election day, to hear first-hand what the Greens can do for you, please email us as soon as possible at agent@kelvin.scottishgreens.org.uk
