About Math

First of all, thanks for taking the time to come and read my bio and visit my website!

I’m Math Campbell-Sturgess. I’m a 42 year old jewellery designer, parliamentary assistant,  and  formerly a graphic designer. I’ve lived in Argyll & Bute since 2016 having moved here from Greenock before our daughter was born in order that she could grow up here.

I was born in England and was a reservist in the Royal Engineers before moving to Scotland when I met my fiancée, who was herself brought up in this area before she had to move to Greenock for work. 

I joined the SNP in 2008 and I was a Councillor for a full five years in Greenock from 2012 to 2017 where I had a good reputation for working together across parties to get the job done. Since 2022 I’ve also been a councillor for Helensburgh & Lomond South, representing constituents on Argyll & Bute Council, and serving as policy lead for Business Development.

I’m also the founder of English Scots for YES. In the 2014 referendum I travelled across Scotland meeting thousands of people, doing dozens of television interviews, representing the group internationally in both print and tv/radio – so I have the background and experience to represent Dumbarton at the national level.

I’ve also had plenty of experience of moving issues forwards. I co-wrote the motions on both ending Sex For Rent – a hideous, vile practice that has claimed many victims, which I am pleased to say the SNP conference voted unanimously to outlaw after my motion – and also motions like the Coffee Cup Levy – which has been enacted into law to reduce the chronic littering. A small step you may think, but that change alone will reduce Scotland’s carbon footprint my millions of kilograms! Not to mention reduce the amount of coffee cups we see littered everywhere! It is this experience and history of working with party colleagues, opposition parties and community groups that I feel make me an ideal candidate in an election where we absolutely need our strongest people at the front.

And, most of all, like the majority of Scots, I want an independent Scotland. And that will happen soon. Which is why it is vital we return an SNP MSP – in an election that will be the toughest in Scotland, against a candidate who is both experienced and wily – not to mention her Party’s deputy.

So, when the ballots open, please, consider giving me, Math Campbell-Sturgess, your vote. And together, we can WIN the Dumbarton constituency and then WIN our independence.

Thank you for reading!
