Exciting news for Swansea! Councillor Francesca O’Brien has made history by becoming the first Reform UK representative in the city. Formerly with the Welsh Conservatives, Francesca was first elected in 2022 and represents the Mumbles area. She’s joined Reform UK to shake things up and offer a fresh alternative to the Labour-Plaid status quo in Cardiff Bay.
Francesca is committed to making a difference for ordinary people, advocating for fiscal responsibility by stopping unnecessary spending on empty government buildings and redirecting funds back into Wales. Determined to help communities flourish, she aims to boost businesses and ensure a safe, vibrant environment for families.
Beyond politics, Francesca has a dynamic background, with roles in the Royal Air Force air cadets, the motor industry, and agriculture with a “farm to fork” enterprise in Gower. She’s also a proud mother of two and a member of the Mumbles and South Gower Royal British Legion.
With 16 Reform UK councillors now in Wales, including two in Carmarthenshire, Francesca’s move signals potential change on the horizon. Stay tuned for more updates on how this might impact the future of Swansea and beyond! 🌟
