Political career
Jenner served as mayor of the Royal Borough of Windsor and Maidenhead in Berkshire, England from 2013 to 2014 and Deputy Mayor from 2012 before that.[2][3] Jenner was the owner of Jenner's Cafe in Maidenhead.[4] In England, he also served as a magistrate (a volunteer role unlike legally qualified magistrates in Australia).[5][6] Jenner was a Conservative Party councillor for Maidenhead Riverside ward.[7] In 2016, he resigned as councillor to emigrate to Australia.[8]
In the 2022 Tasmanian local elections, Jenner was an independent candidate for Clarence City Council.[9] In the 2024 Tasmanian state election he was elected in Lyons for the Jacqui Lambie Network.[10]
On 16 September 2024, the sole remaining member of the JLN in parliament, Andrew Jenner, confirmed he was not signing a confidence and supply deal with the Liberal government after the last one fell through.[11] In 2025, Jenner voted with the Labor opposition in the vote of no confidence on premier Jeremy Rockliff, which resulted in a snap election.[12]
JLN announced in August 2024 that they would not be endorsing candidates in the following state election.[13] When a snap election was called to be held in July 2025, Jenner stated he intended to run in the election but could not run under the JLN banner.[14] He announced on 14 June 2025 that he had joined the National Party and would seek preselection for the state election.[15][16]
