Angela Jane Burns is a British businesswoman and politician who was elected as Conservative[1] AM/MS for Carmarthen West and South Pembrokeshire from 2007 to 2021.
She went into business after leaving school, working for companies such as Waitrose, Thorn EMI and Asda.
[citation needed] In recent times she has become involved with local issues in south Pembrokeshire, particularly the proposed downgrading of the two District Hospitals of Glangwili and Withybush.
She defeated the sitting Labour Party member Christine Gwyther by only 98 votes, and Plaid Cymru's John Dixon by 250 votes, in a very close three-way contest in the 2007 Senedd election.
[3] Burns was appointed Member of the Order of the British Empire (MBE) in the 2022 Birthday Honours for political and public service.
