Amelia Womack

In January 2019 she apologised for tweeting a picture accused of being antisemitic.

In February 2019, it was announced that Womack would be the Wales Green Party candidate in the 2019 Newport West by-election, a position she had nominally been selected for in November 2018. The by-election was held on 4 April 2019 and Womack finished in sixth place in a field of 11 candidates, with 924 votes (3.9% of the total votes cast).

In August 2019, Womack was again nominated by the Wales Green Party as the candidate for Newport West in a prospective snap general election. Womack stood in the 2019 general election. She again came in sixth place, but this time out of a field of six candidates. She achieved a smaller share of the vote compared to the by-election, receiving 2.1% of the total votes cast.

In March 2017, Womack reported the Daily Mail newspaper to the Independent Press Standards Organisation over a front page photo of Theresa May and Nicola Sturgeon with the caption "Never mind Brexit, who won Legs-it". In her submission she said: "This headline and the further derogatory comments inside the paper would not have even been considered, let alone published, if the two politicians in question had been men".

She was re-elected Deputy Leader of the Green Party of England and Wales in September 2016 for a second two-year term, and then again in September 2018.

Womack's re-election as Deputy Leader of the Green Party of England and Wales was announced at the party conference in early September 2016. She is serving a second two-year term.

In August 2016, she criticised Byron Hamburgers after they worked with the Home Office to call their London workers to a fake Health and Safety briefing, whereat immigration officials present at the venue arrested several employees, deporting 35 for immigration offences. Womack was quoted as saying "It’s about the family and friends of people who are left behind as well. You don’t need to be pro-migration to realise that employing people, having them pay tax and contribute to the company for years and then turn them over to authorities without any responsibility for the chaos caused is the wrong thing to do".

She stood in the Camberwell and Peckham constituency in the 2015 United Kingdom general election, finishing third with just over 10% of the vote.

In September 2015, Womack announced her intention to stand for the Wales Green Party in the 2016 National Assembly for Wales election. The Welsh Green Party announced in late October that she had been selected as the lead candidate for the regional South Wales Central (proportional representation) list as well as for the Cardiff Central constituency.

She was elected deputy leader of The Green Party in September 2014, delivering her first speech in the role at the party's conference on 6 September. Having been elected at the age of 29, Womack is the youngest deputy leader of any political party in the UK.

Womack joined the Green Party around 2000. She stood as a Green candidate for Herne Hill ward on Lambeth Council, in the 2014 United Kingdom local elections, and for London in the 2014 European Parliament election, though she won neither seat.

Womack was born in Newport in Monmouthshire, South Wales She attended Bassaleg School, a state comprehensive school in the suburb of Bassaleg, from 1996 to 2003. She studied a BSc in Environmental Biology at Liverpool University, and went on to complete an MSc in environmental technology at Imperial College London in 2009, with a thesis entitled Who's afraid of environmental law? How the law of Ecocide can secure our environment for business resilience.
