Welcome to my website.  It’s nearly five years now since I was elected to represent Gateshead East and Washington West. Since then it’s been my number one priority to champion the constituency in Parliament and across the wider North East. My role as your MP means that I spend half the week down in London, and half in the constituency. I’m proud of my achievements so far in Parliament, but when I come home I’m even more proud of our constituency.

A vital part of my role is to stay in touch with your opinions, views and priorities. Whether it is safer streets, better transport, creating jobs, affordable housing or climate change, I need to know! Please get in touch with me in writing, by phone or online using the details on my contact page.  Contact Sharon Hodgson MP >>

Looking forward to hearing from you, 

Sharon Hodgson
