James Dornan (born 17 March 1953) is a Scottish National Party (SNP) politician who is Member of the Scottish Parliament (MSP) for Glasgow Cathcart.
Raised in the Oatlands neighbourhood of southern Glasgow,[1] Dornan joined the Scottish National Party in 1996[2] and previously worked for Stewart Maxwell (MSP).[3]
He was elected in the 2011 Parliamentary elections,[4] having previously contested the Ayr Constituency in the 2003 Scottish Parliament elections and the Glasgow South-West Constituency in the 2005 UK general election before his election in 2011.[3] He was also selected to be the SNP candidate in the 2009 Glasgow North East by-election, but decided to step aside following newspaper reports over his finances.[5]
He represented the Langside ward on Glasgow City Council from 3 May 2007[6] until 3 May 2012[7] and was the SNP group leader on the council until June 2011, when he was succeeded by Councillor Allison Hunter.[8]
In 2012, Dornan was appointed as a SNP Deputy Whip.[9]
