MP for North Herefordshire
Green Party Westminster Leader
“A party-loyal Green MP who leads the party in Westminster and champions workers’ and renters’ rights.”
Dr Ellie Chowns is the Green Party MP for North Herefordshire, elected in 2024. She is the Green Party Westminster Leader (since September 2025) and serves as a Green spokesperson across defence, education, social care, foreign affairs, housing and local government, and business and trade, while sitting on committees including the Environmental Audit Committee and the Representation of the People Bill committee (since March 2026).
She votes consistently with her party (100% loyalty) and has attendance above her party average (16% vs 13%), with zero rebel votes. Her record shows a clear pro‑work stance, supporting workers’ rights protections and trade union powers, and she generally backs renter protections. On other topics her votes are mixed, including opposition to bus services regulation and varied positions on welfare and social issues.
She has four declared financial interests: two entries for gifts, benefits and hospitality from UK sources, and two miscellaneous entries.
