Born and brought up in Newport, Natasha is the first woman of colour elected to the Senedd as the regional member for South East Wales and represents over 610,000 people.

Full statement

Natasha is the daughter of Dr Firdaus Asghar and the late M Asghar an accountant, pilot, and first ethnic minority member of the Welsh Assembly, representing South Wales East.

Natasha regularly raises the issues that matter most to her constituents in the Welsh Parliament, particularly when it comes to our struggling health service, failing education system, horrendous transport infrastructure, unfair business rates and mammoth council tax rises. Her biggest desire is to see Wales flourish, eradicate illiteracy and innumeracy as 20% of children are leaving school functionally illiterate and bring about an end to the current levels of brain drain.

ONLY the Welsh Conservatives have a plan to FIX WALES...

1. Axe 20mph speed limits
2. Fighting against Senedd expansion
3. Supporting our farmers
4. Backing tourism businesses
5. Improving our transport infrastructure
6. Driving investment into the region
7. Urgent improvements to our struggling health service
8. Boosting skills and education
