Jacqueline Cameron “utterly heartbroken” but said she knows her mum Margaret would have been proud.
The depute leader of Renfrewshire Council has described her selection as the SNP’s Westminster candidate for Paisley and Renfrewshire South as a “bittersweet moment” following the death of her mother Margaret.
In a statement, Councillor Cameron said: “I would like to thank all the members who put their trust in me and voted for me to be their SNP representative. It will be my privilege to fight for this seat. While I was delighted to hear I had won the selection contest, it was a bittersweet moment, because we lost my mum only on Tuesday night.
Councillor Cameron, who describes herself as a “passionate anti-poverty campaigner”, is a former advocacy worker and manager in the voluntary sector. She was previously chair of Renfrewshire Integration Joint Board, the body responsible for oversight of the health and social care partnership, and is currently chair of the Fairer Renfrewshire sub-committee, a council task force formed to tackle the cost-of-living crisis.
The dedicated team of experienced journalists, responsible for the publication of the award-winning Express, will focus on breaking news, day and night, across Renfrewshire’s towns and villages.
