Biography
Gavin Brown (35) lives in Edinburgh and is passionate about fighting for a fair deal for his constituents. He is married to Hilary, who is a primary school teacher, and has two young children - a daughter and a son. He was involved in the Conservative team that secured 1,000 extra police, a Council Tax freeze, the scrapping of business rates for many small businesses and a Town Centre Regeneration Fund for the people of Scotland. Gavin was also instrumental in ensuring the Edinburgh Bed Tax was rejected and led the fight against the drop-off rip-off at Edinburgh Airport. In addition he has put severe pressure on the Scottish Government to reduce the practice of mere fiscal fines for violent offences - Gavin believes these cases must be decided by a judge in court. In 2009, Gavin won the 'One to Watch' award at the Politician of the Year Awards. Prior to going into politics Gavin was a lawyer at one of Scotland's most respected legal firms. He also started up a training business, which he still runs. In his spare time, Gavin trains in Tae Kwon-Do (he holds a black belt) and long-distance running (he ran the Edinburgh Marathon for the Bethany Christian Trust.) |
