I am proud to have been born and raised in the wonderful constituency of Brecon and Radnorshire.

Full statement

Brought up on the family farm, I have a passion for the outdoors, for agriculture and protecting the valuable role the industry plays in our area. My years spent in Young Farmers took me all around the constituency, building friendships and partnerships, developing life skills.

I am a keen rugby player and I am proud to have captained the second team with Gwernyfed Rugby Club. I live with my partner Emma and beloved dog Bonnie.

I am a passionate Conservative, championing our fantastic communities across Brecon and Radnorshire. Over the past ten years, I have campaigned far and wide, from Ystradgynlais in the South, Presteigne in the East, Llandrindod Wells in the North down to Crickhowell in the South.

In 2017 I was elected as a County Councillor for Gwernyffed Ward and then Cabinet Member in Powys County Council.

In May 2021 I was elected Senedd Member for my home of Brecon and Radnorshire, the proudest moment of my political life. I have held various Shadow Cabinet Roles and am currently the Shadow Cabinet Secretary for Health & Social Care, which is an immense privilege and huge responsibility.
