Vorlage:Short description Vorlage:Use dmy dates Vorlage:Use British English Vorlage:Infobox officeholder Sarah Mei Li Owen[1] (chinesisch 陳美麗, Pinyin Chén Měilì, W.-G. Chen Mei-li;[2][3] born 11 January 1983)[4][5] is a British Labour Party politician and trade unionist,[6]MP for Luton North since 2019. Owen is British Chinese, the first Labour MP of East Asian descent, and the first female MP of Chinese descent.[6][7]
Early life
Owen was born and raised in Hastings. Her mother's family is Malaysian Chinese.[8][9]
Career
Owen worked in the public sector as a care worker for the NHS, a political assistant for Brighton and Hove City Council and a London Fire Brigade employee in the emergency planning department.[6][10][11] Owen has been a political adviser to Alan Sugar and has worked on Labour's national small business policy.[10]
In 2011, Owen was chosen as the Labour Party candidate for Hastings and Rye to contest the next general election.[6] At the 2015 general election, Owen finished in second place with 17,890 votes, which was 4,796 votes behind the elected Conservative candidate Amber Rudd.[12][13]
Owen was formerly a political officer for the trade union GMB and is currently a member of Labour's National Executive Committee.[11] She is chair of Chinese for Labour.[14]
In the 2019 general election, Owen was chosen by a panel drawn from Labour's National Executive Committee as the party's candidate for Luton North, rather than by the local membership, causing protests from some of them who felt that GMB had forced the candidate on them.[11] Owen was elected with a vote tally of 23,496, which was a majority of 9,247 votes over the Conservative Party candidate.[15]
On her election, Owen was appointed the Parliamentary Private Secretary to the Shadow Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs Lisa Nandy.[16] On 15 October 2020, Owen resigned as her position as PPS to vote against the proposed Covert Human Intelligence Sources (Criminal Conduct) Bill, disagreeing with the Labour Whip to abstain.[17]
On 14 April 2021, Owen announced that she was named Parliamentary Private Secretary to Rachel Reeves and was also appointed a whip.[18][19]
In December 2021, she was appointed Shadow Minister for Homelessness, Rough Sleeping and Faith.[20]
