Celia Ann Davies (also known as Ann Bremenda ) is a Welsh Plaid Cymru politician serving as Member of Parliament (MP) for Caerfyrddin since 2024.

Early life and education Celia Ann Davies was born in Llanarthney in 1962. She was educated at Queen Elizabeth Grammar School Carmarthen before studying a secretarial course at Pibwrlwyd Collage, Carmarthen.

As a child she was bullied because she had a stammer. Davies received help from a speech therapist and saw that the Young Farmers' Club helped her build her confidence. She decided to do the evening course when she attended an open day with her daughter.

Davies has experience in the agriculture sector and has farmed a tenant dairy farm in Llanarthney with her husband since 1992.

She started becoming an active member of Plaid Cymru at 18 years old. Davies stood to become a Carmarthenshire County Council member for Llanddarog in 2017 after her children had finished university education. This was expanded to include planning policy. Davies and others have called for the consideration of alternative methods of energy transmission, in particular underground cables, which they argue could reduce the effect on the surrounding landscape.
