I am one of 129 MSPs elected to the Scottish Parliament. I represent my constituents’ interests as an MSP for the Lothian region, dealing with their questions and concerns.

I also sit on two committees, contribute to debates and ask questions in order to hold the Scottish Government to account.

Proposed European Charter of Local Self-Government (Incorporation) (Scotland) Bill

In 2018 I lodged a proposal for a Bill to incorporate the European Charter of Local Self-Government into law in Scotland. In 2020 the Bill was formally introduced to the Scottish Parliament, and is currently being scrutinised by the Local Government and Communities Committee.
