Susan Kramer, Baroness Kramer (born 21 July 1950) is a British Liberal Democrat politician who was Member of Parliament (MP) for Richmond Park from 2005 to 2010, when she was defeated by Tory Zac Goldsmith.
As a Jewish politician, Susan Kramer succeeded Jenny Tonge MP (1997-2005) who had been accused of antisemitism and suspended by the Lib Dems.[1] Having lost their seat, both Tonge and Kramer were subsequently elevated to the House of Lords.
Prior to 2005, Susan Kramer had a career in infrastructure and finance, and was a candidate in the 2000 London mayoral election.[2]
