| Conservative & Unionist MEP for Scotland 1999 - | |||
The man who has tried unsuccessfully to get elected to Westminster three times made a crucial career move last year when he decided not to seek election to the Scottish Parliament but to go all out to try to head the party list for Europe.
He represented the Tories in the North East of Scotland Euro by-election last November where he came second, ahead of Labour, and was judged to have performed well and raised his national profile.
This seasoned political campaigner is a former leader of Kyle and Carrick District Council and also headed the Tory group on the Convention of Scottish Local Authorities.
Mr Stevenson, 50, has also served as his party's spokesman for environmental issues, transport, the media, arts, heritage, and tourism.
Most recently he has been working in public affairs lobbying as one of the directors of the Edinburgh-based PS Communications Ltd. He is also the director of a long established family farming and tourism business in Ayrshire and is married with two sons.
