Jan Logie

Jan Logie is a New Zealand politician who served as a Member of Parliament for the Green Party of Aotearoa New Zealand from 2011 to 2023. Logie was a list MP, meaning she was elected based on the Green Party's overall share of the vote rather than winning a specific electorate.

During her time in Parliament, Logie held various portfolios, often focusing on social justice issues. She was particularly known for her work on issues relating to family and sexual violence prevention, rainbow (LGBTQIA+) rights, and social development. She actively advocated for policy changes and increased funding to address these areas.

Logie was instrumental in the passage of legislation aimed at improving the lives of vulnerable populations in New Zealand. Her contributions involved Select Committee work, developing member's bills, and engaging with community organizations to shape policy.

Before entering politics, Logie worked extensively in the community sector, including roles in women's refuges and social service organizations. This background informed her approach to policy and her commitment to advocating for marginalized communities. Her departure from Parliament in 2023 marked the end of over a decade of service dedicated to progressive social change.
