Liberal Democrat Spokesperson (Women and Equalities)
“A party-loyal Liberal Democrat MP with notably low attendance in Parliament.”
Marie Goldman is the Liberal Democrat MP for Chelmsford, elected on 4 July 2024. She currently serves as Liberal Democrat Spokesperson for Women and Equalities and sits on several parliamentary bodies, including the Administration Committee, the Speaker's Committee for the Independent Parliamentary Standards Authority, and the Restoration and Renewal Programme Board.
