Welcome!

A solicitor by profession, Jason Rust is the Councillor for Colinton/Fairmilehead Ward on the City of Edinburgh Council, also covering Colinton Mains, Dreghorn, Firrhill, Oxgangs and Swanston.  He was first elected in October 2004 as the youngest member of the Council.
Jason chairs Pentlands Neighbourhood Partnership which includes the Balerno, Currie, Juniper Green, Clovenstone areas and is a member of Lothian and Borders Fire and Rescue Board and Lothians Joint Valuation Board.
Interested in the arts and science, Jason is a Director of Edinburgh International Jazz and Blues Festival and also Edinburgh International Science Festival.  Jason was selected last October as the Parliamentary Candidate to contest Edinburgh South West at the next Westminster election and has been working hard across the area from Balerno to the West End.
Jason Rust would be a strong local voice for Edinburgh South West in the House of Commons. A Labour MP would just do more of the same. And if there is one idea that Jason rejects, it is that things must remain the same.
