Jessica Bouyamourn (she/her) is a Newtown local, community advocate, and Animal Justice Party candidate who believes politics should be grounded in compassion, fairness, and practical action. Whether she's supporting local, independent businesses, walking her rescue dog, Daisy, or volunteering with community organisations across Newtown, she is deeply connected to the electorate and the people who make it special.

Through 12 years’ experience working in financial services, regulation and organisational change, Jessica has built a wealth of professional skills and knowledge. Today, she combines contract work, university study and community advocacy, each of which has given her firsthand understanding of the difficult economic realities many Australians are currently facing. Furthermore, Jessica is currently completing a Graduate Certificate in LGBTQIA+ Policy, and has held leadership roles within a range of organisations that provide support to LGBTQIA+, refugee and local communities.

Jessica joined the Animal Justice Party because she believes animals, people and the planet are interconnected. She has been inspired by the practical outcomes the party has already achieved, including reforms to animal rights and gender equity laws, which prove that compassionate politics can deliver real change.

Jessica’s policy priorities include expanding affordable veterinary care and desexing services, strengthening protections against animal cruelty, addressing cost-of-living pressures, and raising the age of criminal responsibility from ten to fourteen years old, in line with UN recommendations.

Jessica is standing for NSW State Parliament because she believes that if you care about your community, you're qualified to help shape its future.
