Jamie Hamilton Wallis (born 2 June 1984)[1][2] is a British Conservative Party politician who served as Member of Parliament (MP) for Bridgend in Wales from the 2019 general election[3] until 2024, for only one parliamentary term. Wallis defeated the incumbent Labour MP Madeleine Moon, who had represented the constituency since 2005.
He has been described in some media reports as the first openly transgender MP in the House of Commons and the first transgender member of Parliament, following his statement in March 2022 that "I’m trans. Or to be more accurate, I want to be".[4][5]
Wallis has been convicted of several driving offences and his business dealings have come under scrutiny.
