About Chris 

I’m the newly elected Labour Member of Parliament for Bridgend & Porthcawl.

I was previously the Member of Parliament for Ogmore between May 2016 when I was elected in a by-election and the 30th May 2024, when the 2024 General Election was called. The old Ogmore constituency was abolished as part of the Boundary Commission changes.

I have lived in South Wales all of my life and my home is in Brynmenyn where I live with my wife and  young son.

Prior to being elected as MP for Ogmore, I worked in a number of roles in further education, office management, public affairs and I served as a full time County Councillor and Cabinet Member leading on Education and Children’s Social Services until 2016 in the Vale of Glamorgan. From 2013 to 2016 I served as an independent member of the Cardiff and Vale Health board. A fact that many will not know is that I originally started out in life working as a butcher!
