Heather Anderson (born 31 January 1959) is a Scottish National Party (SNP) politician who briefly served as the Member of the European Parliament (MEP) for the Scotland constituency in late January 2020.[1] [2]
Political career [ edit ]
Anderson was first elected as a councillor for the Tweeddale West ward at the 2017 Scottish Borders Council election .[3] [4]
She was originally placed fifth on the Scottish National Party list for the 2019 European Parliament election , in which the party won three seats. However, following the election to the UK House of Commons of first-placed Alyn Smith at the 2019 United Kingdom general election , he ceased to be an MEP , since an individual cannot serve as a representative in both a member state's legislature and the European Parliament.[5] Margaret Ferrier was also elected to the UK parliament at the same election. This made Anderson eligible for the newly vacant SNP seat,[6] [7] Brexit process completed.[4] [5] [8]
At the 2022 Scottish local elections , Anderson stood as councillor for the SNP in Dundee City Council . She was elected , winning her seat in the Coldside Ward at first preference with 31.1% of the vote.
Personal life [ edit ]
Anderson is an organic farmer who owns her own produce and butcher's shop in the Scottish Borders.[4] [6]
