Welcome,
It is a privilege to represent the Glasgow Maryhill and Springburn constituency as your MSP.
I stay in Maryhill with my wife Janet, together with my young son and daughter. Before I became an MSP, I was a secondary school teacher for 10 years. Since first being elected as a Glasgow MSP in 2007 I have worked hard to deliver for local constituents. Now returned as your constituency MSP for Maryhill and Springburn in 2021, I will contiune to build on that progress, help to protect the communities I know best, and deliver to all people in Maryhill and Springburn
