I was the victim of a physical and sexual assault over a number of hours, in my workplace. After several months of attempting to have this incident comprehensively addressed by my employer and failing to do so, I contacted Fergus Ewing MSP. He immediately made contact with my employer and raised my concerns on my behalf. His willingness to truly listen and hear, and to use his influence and power as an MSP to hold people to account on my behalf, has allowed me to feel seen and heard. His intervention and commitment to make progress resulted in a change in policy and procedure. Fergus Ewing MSP has, through his role as a Member of the Scottish Parliament, elevated the voice of a survivor of sexual violence to allow it to be heard in the corridors of power. I fully support and endorse Fergus Ewing MSP.","photo_url":null,"media_url":null,"endorsement_type":"text","is_featured":true,"created_at":"2026-04-16T14:07:54.735973+00:00"},{"id":"021e411d-785c-4a1e-95f5-02ff979fa7bc","name":"Breagha Dunbar","location":"Inverness (first-time voter)","quote":"My name is Breagha Dunbar and I have lived in Inverness my entire life. As a first-time voter, I am not interested in voting for some party robot. I want to vote for someone who will truly stand up for what I believe in and for the place I am so lucky to call home. Fergus Ewing has earned my vote because he has done something many politicians could only dream of – Fergus has chosen his own constituents over his party.

Fergus Ewing is such a man. When tragedy struck the Clyde fishing communities with the loss of the Nancy Glen, we couldn't have hoped for a stronger supporter.

Fergus Ewing did not just send a letter – he came out, met residents, listened, and saw the problems for himself.

On several occasions, I brought issues to him that had gone unresolved for far too long, and he dealt with them quickly, effectively, and with a level of commitment that made a real difference to my life and my family. For me, that matters. It shows someone who doesn't just speak about supporting the community – he actually does it. Fergus understands the needs of our local area, he listens, and he acts.
