Who is Catrin Thomas?

I was the Reform UK Candidate for Gŵyr (Gower) in last year's General Election; I then Chaired the Gŵyr Abertawe Branch of Reform UK until this summer; and I'm now applying to represent Reform UK in next year's Senedd Election. I graduated from Swansea University; worked on the Abertawe Barrage; and lived in Mumbles when its famous Mile ended at Cinderella's. I am committed to bringing positive change to this beautiful part of Wales, from the Gower Peninsula to Pontarddulais and Swansea City.

Labour and Plaid Cymru have had 26 years to build a better Wales. They have failed.  Join with me; Wales needs Reform.
