Ruth Davidson is the Scottish Conservative and Unionist MSP for Edinburgh Central and leader of the Scottish Conservative and Unionist MSP Group. Ruth was first elected to the Scottish Parliament in 2011, where she represented Glasgow.
Before entering politics Ruth worked in journalism for ten years, first in newspapers, before moving to radio and television. The majority of her time was spent at the BBC working in news and current affairs as a presenter, reporter and documentary maker.
Following the resignation of Annabel Goldie, Ruth was elected leader of the Scottish Conservative and Unionist party in November 2011. In 2014 she played a prominent role in Better Together, the cross-party campaign to keep Scotland in the United Kingdom.
