Jason Stephen Perry is a Conservative Party politician who has served as the directly elected Mayor of Croydon, a Borough within London, since 2022.[1] He was previously the Leader of the Opposition of the Croydon London Borough Council and has been Leader of the Croydon Council Conservative Group since September 2020.[2]

He has been a councillor on Croydon London Borough Council since 1994, representing Coulsdon East from 1994 to 2002, Croham from 2002 to 2018 and South Croydon since boundary changes in 2018. Following a selection held in October 2021 he was selected as Croydon Conservatives prospective candidate for the newly created position of Mayor of Croydon.[3] He was elected on 5 May 2022, defeating Labour Candidate, former deputy Mayor of London Val Shawcross, by a narrow margin of 589 votes after the second round.[4]

First elected in 1994, Perry served on Croydon Council for 28 years before being elected Mayor. He served as a Cabinet Member during the 2006–2014 Conservative administration and served as a Deputy Leader of the Croydon Council Conservative Group from 2017 to 2020.
