JESS HOBSON
Jess Hobson is the elected Green Party campaigner for Newtown. She is dedicated to being a visible and approachable advocate for the community. 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.

I commit to listening to local people about issues that matter to them and working as a community to find solutions”. Sam lives and works in the Roseworth area, giving him a great link to the community which he hopes to build on throughout his time as a campaigner.
