Angela Maree Warren-Clark (born 1971) [1] is a New Zealand politician and former Member of Parliament in the House of Representatives for the Labour Party.
Warren-Clark is a non-practicing barrister and solicitor. [2] She has been active in the field of domestic violence since the early 2000s, and was the manager of Women's Refuge in Tauranga prior to her election. [3] The refuge had to operate on a mere $21 a week fund from Government which she described as "appalling" and had to raise $500,000 every year in fundraising to sustain the refuge. [4]
Warren-Clark stood for the Labour candidacy in the Tauranga electorate in 2017 but was beaten by Jan Tinetti. [5] Her successful candidacy to represent Labour in the Bay of Plenty electorate was announced in February 2017. [2]

During the 2017 election, Warren-Clark stood on the Labour's party list, where she was placed 39th. [6] She also contested the Bay of Plenty electorate but was defeated by National MP Todd Muller by a margin of 13,996 votes. [7] Initially she had not been elected on the provisional results, however Labour gained enough party votes when special votes were counted for Warren-Clark to be allocated a seat. [8]
During the 2020 New Zealand general election, Warren-Clark contested the Bay of Plenty electorate again, standing against incumbent Todd Muller. She lost by a final margin of 3,415 votes. [9] However, she was elected on the party list. [10]
During the 2023 New Zealand general election, Warren-Clark contested the Whangārei electorate but lost to National MP Shane Reti by a margin of 11,424 votes. [11] She was also too low on the Labour Party list and left Parliament.
Warren-Clark has two adult children who live overseas. She is married to Blair, and they live in Papamoa. [3] Warren-Clark has a law degree from the University of Waikato and was admitted to the bar in 1998. [12]
The 1999 New Zealand general election was held on 27 November 1999 to determine the composition of the 46th New Zealand Parliament. The governing National Party, led by Prime Minister Jenny Shipley, was defeated, being replaced by a coalition of Helen Clark's Labour Party and the smaller Alliance. This marked an end to nine years of the Fourth National Government, and the beginning of the Fifth Labour Government which would govern for nine years in turn, until its loss to the National Party in the 2008 general election. It was the first New Zealand election where both major parties had female leaders.
The 1996 New Zealand general election was held on 12 October 1996 to determine the composition of the 45th New Zealand Parliament. It was significant for being the first election to be held under the new mixed-member proportional (MMP) electoral system, and produced a parliament considerably more diverse than previous elections. Under the new MMP system, 65 members were elected in single-member districts by first-past-the-post voting, while a further 55 "top-up" members were allocated from closed lists to achieve a proportional distribution based on each party's share of the nationwide party vote.
Margaret Anne Wilson is a New Zealand lawyer, academic and former Labour Party politician. She served as Attorney-General from 1999 to 2005 and Speaker of the House of Representatives from 2005 to 2008, during the Fifth Labour Government.
The 2008 New Zealand general election was held on 8 November 2008 to determine the composition of the 49th New Zealand Parliament. The liberal-conservative National Party, headed by its parliamentary leader John Key, won the largest share of votes and seats, ending nine years of government by the social-democratic Labour Party, led by Helen Clark. Key announced a week later that he would lead a National minority government with confidence-and-supply support from the ACT, United Future and Māori parties. The Governor-General swore Key in as New Zealand's 38th Prime Minister on 19 November 2008. This marked the beginning of the Fifth National Government which governed for the next nine years, until the 2017 general election, when a government was formed between the Labour and New Zealand First parties, with support on confidence and supply by the Green Party.

King in turn was defeated by the Labour Party's Willow-Jean Prime in the 2020 general election, who became the first Labour MP elected for the area since the party won the predecessor electorate Bay of Islands in 1938. Prime was later defeated in the 2023 election by National's Grant McCallum

It was held first by Tau Henare representing New Zealand First for one term, and then Dover Samuels of the Labour Party for two terms. From 2005 to 2014, it was held by MP Hone Harawira. Initially a member of the Māori Party, Harawira resigned from both the party and then Parliament, causing the 2011 by-election.
