East Lynn is an electoral district of the Enderronian Parliament in New Plymouth, first contested at the 1990 federal election. It is named after the inner-city Borough of Lynn, and encompasses its eastern half.
The sitting member, since the 2018 federal election, is Jocelyn Storer, a member of the Enderronian Greens.
==History==
East Lynn was created at the 1990 redistribution, in which the district of Lynn was abolished and split into East Lynn and West Lynn. East Lynn was regarded as a marginal seat for the Social Democratic Party at the time of its creation, taking in the more affluent end of the old Lynn electorate. Lionel Wicks, the last MP for Lynn, was elected as the inaugural member for East Lynn at the 1990 election, and held it until his retirement in 2002. At the 2002 election, the Liberal Party improved dramatically in the major cities as part of its election win, and narrowly claimed East Lynn, overturning the SDP margin of more than 13 percent. The new Liberal MP, Heather Lansberry, held the seat until her own retirement in 2018, albeit on consistently thin margins; she never held East Lynn by more than 4 percent, and survived at the 2014 election by just 0.37 percent. Upon her retirement in 2018, the seat was considered a three-way contest between the Liberals, Social Democrats and the Greens. The Greens' candidate, deputy leader Jocelyn Storer, won the seat after preferences.
