Statement to voters

Calum Kerr is the SNP MP for Berwickshire, Roxburgh and Selkirk and the party's Lead Westminster Spokesperson on the Environment, Food and Rural Affairs. He has established a reputation as an effective parliamentarian and a powerful and passionate campaigner on constituency issues. These include improving transport and communications, boosting the Borders economy and fighting poverty, austerity and welfare cuts.

Calum is a strong advocate of a better deal for Scotland's farmers and the rural economy, including maximising support from the EU and improving the supply chain to obtain better prices for primary producers.

Calum's passion for politics found its voice when he became Chair of Yes Scottish Borders in the run-up to the 2014 referendum. A dynamic and tireless organiser, he drove the campaign right across the region, achieving an unprecedented 45 per cent increase in support.

A history graduate from St Andrews University, Calum was born and raised in the Scottish Borders and lives locally with his wife and three children. Family holidays are enjoyed in the beautiful North West Highlands and hobbies include spending time with friends, rugby and the odd good malt whisky.
