Louise Ellman has been Labour Party MP for Liverpool Riverside since 1997. In the 2015 election Ellman once again retained her seat, gaining 67% of the vote and a majority of 24, 463.
According to her biography in JC Power 100:
- Labour MP for Liverpool Riverside since 1997, the 62-year-old is probably Israel’s staunchest supporter in an often hostile Commons. She came to Westminster after leading Lancashire County Council. Her varied responsibilities include sitting on the Transport Select Committee, a vice-presidency of the Local Government Association, and board membership of Merseyside arts and cultural organisations. She also chairs the Jewish Labour Movement, the successor organisation to Poale Zion, and is a Labour Friends of Israel vice-chair.[1]
