| Info | Catherine Dalling Stihler (née Catherine Dalling Taylor) is a British Labour Party politician. She has been a member of the European Parliament for Scotland since 1999. She was the unsuccessful Labour Party candidate in the Dunfermline and West Fife by-election held on February 9, 2006, in what had been regarded as a safe Labour seat.
Stihler was born in Bellshill, North Lanarkshire and educated at Coltness High School, going on to the University of St Andrews, where she was elected as the President of the Students' Association in 1994-95. She served on the Scottish Executive Committee of the Labour Party from 1993 to 1995 and was the Young Labour delegate to the National Executive Committee from 1995 to 1997. While a postgraduate student, she was elected as a community councillor and stood in the Angus constituency at the 1997 general election, coming third to Andrew Welsh of the Scottish National Party.
After the election Stihler worked for Anne Begg, Member of Parliament for Aberdeen South, as a research assistant. She was placed at third on the Labour Party list for Scotland in the 1999 European Parliament election, and therefore took the third Labour Party seat under the d'Hondt electoral system.
As an MEP, she is editor of Parliament Magazine and serves on the Scottish Executive Committee of the Labour Party as representative of the MEPs.
