Celia Ann Davies[1] (also known as Ann Bremenda[2]) is a Welsh Plaid Cymru politician serving as Member of Parliament (MP) for Caerfyrddin since 2024.[3]

Davies is also a councillor on Carmarthenshire County Council, and served before becoming an MP as cabinet member for rural affairs, community cohesion and planning policy.[4][5]

Career

Davies has experience in the agriculture sector and has farmed a tenant farm in Llanarthney with her husband since 1992. She is also co-owner of a local nursery and was a lecturer in early years learning at the University of Wales Trinity Saint David and before that she worked as a peripatetic music teacher.[6][7]

She started becoming an active member of Plaid Cymru at 18 years old.[8] Davies stood to become a Carmarthenshire County Council member for Llanddarog in 2017 after her children had finished university education.[8] She was appointed as a cabinet member of the Council in 2021 originally under the portfolio of Communities and Rural Affairs.[9] This was expanded to include planning policy.[4]

Since the announcement in 2023 of plans for a pylon line in the Towy Valley to connect a wind farm near Llandrindod Wells and a substation near Carmarthen, Davies has been involved in efforts to opposing the proposal.[10] Davies and others have called for the consideration of alternative methods of energy transmission, in particular underground cables, which they argue could reduce the effect on the surrounding landscape.[11][12]

On 4 July 2024, Davies was elected as the MP for Caerfyrddin, by 4,535 votes, a margin of 9.9% over Labour.[3]

Volunteering

Since September 2023 Davies has been the chairperson of the local Farmers Union of Wales branch.[7] She is also the Chair of Carmarthenshire Association of Voluntary Services.[13]

Personal life

Davies is a mother of three and a grandmother of seven children.[11] She is a Christian and plays the organ and preaches at her local church, in addition to conducting local Gymanfaoedd ganu.[14][7]
