Lyndsay Feltham is a Jersey politician serving in the States Assembly as Deputy of St Helier Central since 2022.[1] She is a former Minister for Social Security.
Early years
[edit]Feltham was born and raised in Jersey, and lived in Western Australia for 11 years.[2]
Political career
[edit]Feltham was chairperson of Reform Jersey from 2019 to 2022.[3] She resigned as the party's chairperson a few months later in line with its constitution, which prevent members of the States Assembly from holding the position.[4] In November 2023, she was appointed to the newly created position of deputy leader of Reform Jersey.[5]
In February 2024 until the 2026 general election, Feltham was Minister for Social Security in Chief Minister Lyndon Farnham’s first Council of Ministers.[6] In 2025, Feltham raised the minimum wage in Jersey to £13.59 an hour, with the eventual goal to have the minimum wage in line with Jersey's living wage.[7]
She was re-elected as a Deputy for St Helier Central at the 2026 Jersey general election.[8] She currently serves as chair of the Corporate Services Scrutiny Panel.
In July 2026, following a tied party leadership election, Feltham became interim co-leader of Reform Jersey alongside Montfort Tadier, pending a further election.[9]
