Louise was first elected as the Member of Parliament for Sheffield Heeley in May 2015. She was born and brought up on Abbeydale Road and now lives in Norfolk Park. Louise made clear in her acceptance speech the people of Sheffield Heeley will always be her number one priority.

After her first year as an MP, she was named by independent House of Commons Library research as the hardest-working of all new MPs. In the years since, she’s stood up for local people and held the Government to account on everything from special educational needs and reform of the family courts to fracking and children’s mental health.

In July 2017, Louise was appointed Shadow Policing Minister and, drawing on her experience as a former Special Constable, campaigned for the Police to be properly resourced, staffed, and accountable to the public.

Louise was appointed as Shadow Secretary of State for Northern Ireland within Labour’s Shadow Cabinet in April 2020. Labour has a proud record in Northern Ireland and Louise has renewed the party’s historic commitment to work as honest brokers and trusted partners with political leaders, businesses and communities.

Louise was made Shadow Secretary of State for Transport in November 2021, where she has prioritised ensuring public transport is affordable, accessible and reliable. At last year’s Labour Party Conference Louise announced Labour’s commitment to bring our railways into public ownership and to allow local areas to establish their own municipal bus companies.

Furthermore in this role Louise has been a vocal advocate for the rights of workers. Most recently by firmly holding the Government to account for their handling of the rail workers’ industrial dispute and leading the fight to protect the rights of P&O workers following their illegal firing.

Before becoming an MP, Louise served as a shop steward for the Unite union to help bring about change in the workplace. As a proud trade unionist, she’s supported workers facing discrimination, harassment, redundancy and unfair dismissal.

Louise will continue to champion the issues which matter to her constituents. If you need any advice and support, Louise holds regular advice surgeries in the constituency where you can raise any issues.
