About Ellie

I was elected as your Green Party MP for North Herefordshire in July 2024. I’m here to listen to you and represent you as a strong champion for North Herefordshire in Westminster.

My top priorities are strengthening our local economy, improving public services, and protecting nature.

In a typical week in the role so far I spend 4 days in Westminster and 2 days working in the constituency. In the House of Commons I might be speaking in a debate about a bill, taking part in a briefing, meeting with the other Green Party MPs or reviewing policy.  Back home in Herefordshire, I visit schools, businesses, aid groups, charities, events and hold meetings with organisations. I support my team of caseworkers and we review what constituents are raising as important issues for them.  I run a surgery each Friday, meeting constituents face to face.

I’ve lived in Herefordshire for 20 years, previously serving as a local councillor and an MEP: it’s an honour to have been elected MP for North Herefordshire.

Voice for North Herefordshire

The number one complaint I hear from residents: “the politicians don’t listen to us in Herefordshire”.

For too long there has been no voice for local people at Westminster. Ellie is  a strong voice for North Herefordshire.

Action to Protect Nature

Whether it’s river pollution, protection of our wildlife or tackling climate change, it’s clear we must change our national priorities.

As Green MP for North Herefordshire, Ellie is demanding action to protect nature.

Support for Constituents

If you live in North Herefordshire and need support or advice, Ellie and her team will assist as best as they can.

You can write to Ellie on ellie.chowns.mp@parliament.uk to ask her to look in to an issue.
