Reflecting on the Last Year: Supporting Small Businesses
One of the issues I’ve spent the last year campaigning on has been the impact of the cost-of-living crisis on our small and medium-sized businesses.
Susan Murray is the Liberal Democrat MP for Mid Dunbartonshire. A former local councillor for Kirkintilloch East and North and Twechar, Susan is a strong, local and hardworking campaigner and has the experience that will deliver the change we need.
Too many MPs are career politicians with no understanding of life in the real world. She is a successful businesswoman who lives locally and has experience of getting things done as an East Dunbartonshire councillor to deliver on the issues that matter most to residents.
For Susan, improving local healthcare is a personal priority. When her husband suffered a stroke, she became a carer. Her experience means Susan knows just how important it is to have good quality NHS facilities in our community, like the new Milngavie health and care centre she is campaigning for.
