WELCOME TO OUR WEBSITE
Stockton & Hartlepool Green Party are a local group within the Green Party of England and Wales, covering the constituencies of Stockton North, Stockton West, and Hartlepool. Our members and supporters are working together to campaign for a Green future; meaning one which is healthier, environmentally sustainable, and fair. You’ll likely see our team out conducting surveying work in our local area, and we hope to keep residents updated through delivering regular newsletters. We are proud to work hard all-year-round (and not just at election time).
People understandably often tell us that they have lost faith in current politics. Greens propose solutions which are fair to people, are based on the best available evidence, and will be kind to the planet where we live. Unlike other parties, The Green Party has truly progressive national policies proposed and voted on by our members. We are not made up of ‘career politicians’, but instead people who are experts in their own fields (such as scientists, teachers, young carers and students). Therefore our policies are meaningful, and really have community interests at heart. You can read more about them here.

Passionate about helping others, Jess believes that everyone’s voice deserves to be heard. As a Green Party member since 2019, Jess has worked hard to raise the profile of issues relating to mental health, systemic injustice, and social inequalities. She states “in politics, it’s vital that we listen to everyone – especially those who are often silenced. My commitment is to take the concerns of our community and turn them into practical actions that can help make a difference to people’s lives”. Outside of politics, Jess works full-time as a Crisis Nurse at a local hospital.
Jess is the Stockton and Hartlepool Green Party Coordinator, she has been in this role since the group was re-founded in 2021. She is former Chair of the ‘North East Young Greens’, and has previously been a Non-Portfolio Officer on the Green Students Committee. Working conscientiously within Newtown Ward, Jess and her growing team value the importance of regular door-knocking to ensure the Green Party is responsive to the issues that matter to everyone. She stays connected with residents through regular newsletters and has helped to write the local Green Party ‘manifesto‘ which outlines specifically what Greens pledge to do if elected.
