Jamie has been an active campaigner including running the A9 dualling campaign, calling for improvements to transport and broadband infrastructure in the Highlands and Islands, and being active in Better Together Orkney during the Scottish independence referendum, helping to secure the highest percentage No vote in Scotland.

Jamie previously stood for the Scottish Parliament in Inverness East, Nairn and Lochaber in 2007 and then the Orkney constituency in 2011 and 2016, before competing for the Orkney and Shetland seat in the UK general election in 2017.
