**Janet Elizabeth Haworth** (born December 1949) is a [Welsh Conservative](/source/Welsh_Conservatives) politician who was a [Member of the Welsh Assembly](/source/Member_of_the_Senedd) (AM) for the [North Wales Region](/source/North_Wales_(Senedd_electoral_region)) between 2015 and 2016.

## Background

Haworth ran a [guest house](/source/Guest_house) from 2005 with her partner, Dennis Oliver.[3] She worked for [Shell](/source/Royal_Dutch_Shell) in [Aberdeenshire](/source/Aberdeenshire) until she retired to Llandudno in about 2003,[4] and became a town and [county councillor](/source/County_council).[3]

## Political career

### Assembly Member

At the [May 2011 election](/source/2011_National_Assembly_for_Wales_election) to the [National Assembly for Wales](/source/National_Assembly_for_Wales), she was in third place on the Conservative list for the [North Wales region](/source/North_Wales_(National_Assembly_for_Wales_constituency)). The Conservatives won two seats, which meant that Haworth was not elected.[5] [Antoinette Sandbach](/source/Antoinette_Sandbach), who held one of the two Conservative list seats, was elected to the [House of Commons](/source/House_of_Commons_of_the_United_Kingdom) at the [2015 general election](/source/2015_United_Kingdom_general_election). Sandbach announced her resignation from the National Assembly on 8 May 2015.[6] As the next available candidate on the party list from 2011, Haworth succeeded her as an assembly member.[6] She resigned as a Councillor in October 2015 after facing criticisms for her lack of attendance in council meetings following her appointment as an Assembly Member.[7]

Haworth was defeated at the [2016 Assembly election](/source/2016_National_Assembly_for_Wales_election).
