MP for Chelmsford
Liberal Democrat Spokesperson (Women and Equalities)
“A party-loyal Lib Dem backbencher who never rebels but has a notably low voting attendance.”
Marie Goldman is the Liberal Democrat MP for Chelmsford, elected in July 2024. She currently serves as Liberal Democrat Spokesperson for Women and Equalities and sits on several committees, and has previously served as Lib Dem Shadow Leader of the House of Commons.
She votes consistently with her party (100% loyalty) but has a low attendance rate (12%). She generally backs Universal Credit, mental health services, transgender rights, climate change measures and prison sentencing, while opposing stronger trade union powers, workers’ rights protections and VAT changes; renter protections show a mixed pattern.
She has 12 declared financial interests across categories including shareholdings, miscellaneous entries, employment and earnings (including ongoing paid employment), and gifts, benefits and hospitality from UK sources.
