Jonathan Buckley (born 1 January 1992) is a Democratic Unionist Party (DUP) politician, who has been a member of the Northern Ireland Assembly (MLA) for Upper Bann since 2017.
He succeeded retiring veteran legislator Sydney Anderson. During the campaign, he publicly exhorted voters in the constituency to vote and to transfer to other Unionist candidates. He was declared the winner on 3 March 2017.[1][2][3]
In October 2021 Buckley voted against ‘safe zones’ outside abortion clinics, claiming the move designed to protect women from physical and verbal harassment was “regressive”. [4]
