I am Johan Adamson and I am proud to be standing in the Shetland Central by-election to be your councillor.  I live in Tingwall with my husband and two lasses on a very small croft in a house that we built ourselves. I am originally from further west, and attended Skeld and Aith Schools, as well as the AHS.
I am standing in this by-election because I have a lot to give to the role and want to make a difference.  I have always loved politics and care about Shetland, and about social justice and equality.
