About Anneliese:

Anneliese is the Labour and Co-operative Member of Parliament for Oxford East and Chair of the Labour Party and the Labour Party’s policy review. Prior to that, she served as the first woman Shadow Chancellor of the Exchequer.

Anneliese represented Oxford from 2014 to 2017 as our MEP. In that role, Anneliese served on the Economic and Monetary Affairs Committee, focusing especially on clamping down on tax avoidance by big companies. She was also responsible for tightening rules on financial services, to help prevent any repeat of the global financial crisis. Before becoming an MEP, Anneliese worked for many years as an academic. She also chaired a local debt and welfare advice centre.

Anneliese was first elected in June 2017, and was made Shadow Financial Secretary to the Treasury in July 2017. While in this role Anneliese developed Labour’s ‘Fair Tax Programme’, the Party’s tax avoidance proposals put forward at the 2019 general election.

Anneliese lives in Rose Hill with her partner, Ed, and her two children, Freddie and Isabella, who both go to the local primary school. In her spare time, she enjoys running, cycling and eating curry.

Anneliese is regularly out and about in Oxford East, attending community events and speaking to people in their homes during weekly ‘doorstep’ sessions. If you want to raise an issue with Anneliese, please email anneliese.dodds.casework@parliament.uk or call 01865 595 790.
