Joanna Elizabeth Haylen is an Australian politician who was elected to the New South Wales Legislative Assembly as the member for Summer Hill for the Labor Party at the 2015 New South Wales state election.[1]

Graduating from the University of Sydney with a Bachelor of Arts, Haylen served as youngest ever female Mayor of Marrickville from 2013 to 2014.[2] She previously worked as a Director of Administration in the office of former Prime Minister Julia Gillard and as Deputy Chief of Staff for former Deputy Prime Minister Anthony Albanese.[3]

At the 2013 state redistribution, the seat of the Marrickville was abolished and was replaced with the seats of Newtown and Summer Hill. In November 2013, the sitting member for Marrickville, Carmel Tebbutt, announced she would not be recontesting at the 2015 state election. Haylen later won pre-selection for Summer Hill.[4]
