Carol Mochan is a Scottish Labour politician. She has been a Member of the Scottish Parliament (MSP) for the South Scotland region since the election in May 2021.

Career

Mochan grew up in Ayrshire, attending Girvan Primary School and Auchinleck Academy. She worked in the NHS as a dietician for 17 years and during this time built up a wealth of experience around the needs of people and the extent of inequality within society. She is a lifelong dedicated and active trade union member. She lives in Mauchline, Ayrshire, running a small family business. Before her election to the Scottish Parliament she was active in many roles within the community: a member of the community council and community association, chair of a parent led toddler group, and part of the school parent council. She has served as Chair of the Carrick Cumnock and Doon Valley Constituency Labour Party and was a candidate in the council elections for East Ayrshire Council in 2017.

She stood for the UK Parliamentary seat of Ayr, Carrick and Cumnock in 2017 and for the Scottish Parliamentary seat of Carrick, Cumnock and Doon Valley in 2016 and 2021.[1][2][3] She was elected as one of Scottish Labour's three regional MSPs for South Scotland in 2021.[4] She was appointed to the Shadow Cabinet as Shadow Minister for Mental Wellbeing, Women's Health and Sport.[5] She was one of only two Labour MSPs to vote against the Gender Recognition Reform (Scotland) Bill. [6]

Mochan was one of 5 Labour MSPs who was absent for a Scottish Parliament vote calling for the UK Government to reverse its decision to means-test the Winter Fuel Payment.[7]

Personal life

She is married and has two children.[8] Mochan identifies as a socialist and a feminist.[9]
