Personal Information

Johann has had the privilege to represent the people of Glasgow Pollok since 1999, when the Scottish Parliament was first established. She lives in Glasgow with her husband Archie and 2 children Fay and Colin.

Glasgow Pollok constituency is in the South West of the city and includes the council wards of Greater Pollok, Craigton and a small part of Govan.

Johann's first priority is always to help her constituents. She holds regular surgeries and is also happy to be contacted by phone, e-mail or letter. Appointments outside surgeries can be arranged and she is also willing to visit constituents at home.

Personal Interests:
In the little spare time I have left over from work and being an even busier taxi driver for my 2 young children, I like to read, watch Coronation Street and try to keep fit by a mixture of walking, jogging and dancing.

My political interests are focussed particularly on tackling poverty, women’s rights and the rights of disabled people and other groups who experience discrimination. I am also a great supporter and advocate of the Co-op movement and of Fair Trade.

Both my parents were Gaels from the Isle of Tiree – I have a deep and abiding passion for Gaelic and the Hebridean culture, mixed with a love for my own city.
