Russell Findlay Announces Bid for Scottish Conservative Leadership

Findlay aims to shift focus from independence battles to a vision of aspiration and ambition for Scotland's future.

Russell Findlay, a former journalist and current MSP, is the first to officially enter the leadership race.
Douglas Ross steps down following his defeat in the UK general election, prompting the leadership contest.
Potential candidates include Megan Gallacher, Craig Hoy, and Murdo Fraser.
Findlay emphasizes a 'patriotic conservative movement' and practical solutions for everyday issues.
He is supported by colleagues Rachael Hamilton, Douglas Lumsden, and Miles Briggs.
