Your Plaid Cymru representatives are:
Mark Hooper.
Until his election to the Senedd, Mark was a local authority councillor in the Vale of Glamorgan, representing Baruc, the ward in which he grew up.
Mark has extensive experience, having worked at a senior level for a blue-chip company, started and run a cooperative business, advised the Welsh Government and most recently worked in the community energy sector.
Mark is the Deputy Minister for Transport. As a Senedd member, Mark will focus on developing an economy that works for everyone, a public sector better equipped for the future, and ensuring everyone is kept informed of his work in the Senedd.
Mark lives in Barry with his family and enjoys walking their dogs Sox and Seren along the town's beautiful beaches.
