Lucy Penelope Hood (born 17 August 1985)[2] is an Australian politician, journalist and former political adviser.

With a swing of 7.1 per cent, she defeated the incumbent Liberal Party member, Rachel Sanderson, who had held the seat since 2010. Prior to the election, the ABC election analyst Antony Green stated that results in Adelaide have tracked closely with the seat being won by the party that won the state-wide two-party-preferred vote (2PP) at every election since 1985.
