Becky Gittins is a British Labour Party politician who has served as Member of Parliament for Clwyd East since 2024. She gained the seat by beating former Conservative MP, James Davies.[2]
After coming to Coventry to study at the University of Warwick in 2013, she remained in the city, eventually being elected as a councillor for Earlsdon ward in Coventry City Council for the Labour Party, serving from 5 May 2019 to 18 September 2023.[3] During this time she served on Scrutiny Boards, the Licensing and Regulatory Committee, and was the Deputy Cabinet Member for Children and Young People. She resigned her position in September 2023 in order to run as the prospective Labour Party parliamentary candidate for Clwyd East, the area in North Wales she was born and brought up in, triggering a by-election.[4][5]
