Mai Ohara (小原 舞, Ohara Mai, born July 10, 1974) is a Japanese politician who served in the House of Representatives of Japan.[1]

Biography

Born in Maizuru, Ohara joined the Japan Maritime Self-Defense Force after graduating from high school, and graduated from Kwansei Gakuin University in 1999. She earned a master's degree from Kyoto University in 2007.[1]

In 2009, she was elected to the House of Representatives as a Liberal Democratic Party representative of Kyoto 5th district.[1] On June 26, 2012, during a vote on social security and integrated tax reform legislation, she was one of eleven representatives who urged Prime Minister Yoshihiko Noda to vote against the opposing Democratic Party representatives.[2]

In 2015, she was elected to the Kyoto Prefectural Assembly for Maizuru; she is the assembly's first female member to represent that constituency.[1] In 2019, she placed second place in the election with 0,836, with Masayoshi Ikeda ahead of her.[3]
