Lorna Slater is our Green MSP for Lothian Region in the Scottish Parliament. She has been selected by our members as lead candidate for re-election in May 2026.
Lorna was a Co-Leader of the Scottish Greens for six years, alongside Patrick Harvie. Until the end of the Bute House Agreement in 2024, she was Minister for Green Skills, Circular Economy and Biodiversity in the Scottish Government.
Lorna lives in Leith Walk Ward in Edinburgh, and has had a career as an electro-mechanical engineer working in renewable tidal energy. In 2019 she spent a year studying leadership and climate change in the Homeward Bound leadership program, which included a three-week visit to Antarctica to see the devastating effects of this first hand.
