David Mundell
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
David Gordon Mundell (born 27 May 1962 in Dumfries) is the Shadow Secretary of State for Scotland (since December 2005), a member of the Shadow Cabinet of the Scottish Conservative and Unionist Party, and chairman of the Scottish Conservative Candidates Board. He is an MP and former MSP.
Mundell was a councillor in Annandale and Eskdale for two years and on Dumfries and Galloway council for another one until 1987. He was elected in the 2003 Scottish parliamentary election to represent the South of Scotland region.
In the 2005 general election, Mundell was elected in the Dumfriesshire, Clydesdale and Tweeddale constituency. He is now the only Conservative MP representing a Scottish seat after the Chairman of the Scottish Conservatives, Peter Duncan, failed to win Dumfries and Galloway in the 2005 General Election.
Following his election to Westminster, Mundell resigned from the Scottish Parliament in June 2005. His seat was taken by Derek Brownlee, who was next on the Conservative's list for the South of Scotland region.
