Kurtz has been the Welsh Conservatives' Shadow Energy and Economy Minister since April 2024.[1][2] Kurtz was a Pembrokeshire County Councillor from 2017 to 2022, representing Scleddau ward.

Personal Life and Education

Career

Prior to his political career, Kurtz worked for the Pembrokeshire Herald and the Western Telegraph.[3]

Political Career

Kurtz was elected to Pembrokeshire County Council in 2017.[4] He represented Scleddau ward until the 2022 elections.[5] The ward was abolished at this election, and split across the Llanrhian and Bro Gwaun wards.[5][6]

Kurtz was selected to replace the outgoing Angela Burns as Welsh Conservative candidate for Carmarthen West and South Pembrokeshire in 2020.[7] Shortly after this, 3 past tweets surfaced, in which he described an individual as a "gay boy", said someone "sounds a little gay" and described someone as “bisexual, and looks like shit off of a shoe”.[8] Kurtz apologised for the comments.[9][10] He was elected as MS for the constituency at the 2021 Senedd elections, with a majority of 936.[11][12]

Kurtz has been the Conservatives' Shadow Minister for Economy and Energy since 2024.[1][2] From his election until 2024 he was the Welsh Conservatives' Shadow Rural Affairs and Welsh language Minister in the Senedd[13][14] He is also a member of two Senedd Committees: the Economy, Trade, and Rural Affairs Committee and the Legislation, Justice and Constitution Committee.[3] He is also a member of cross-party groups on armed forces and cadets, beer and pubs, diabetes, digital rights and democracy, fisheries and aquaculture, further education and skills, horseracing, small shops, tourism and welsh wool.[3] He also chairs cross party groupings on rural growth and shooting and conservation.[3]
