Before the election, Witherden was a national executive member of the NASUWT teachers’ union. In his maiden speech, Witherden said that "My own experiences made me want to become a teacher. I was statemented dyslexic and dyscalculic at a time when a lot of people did not believe in such terms. I was completely illiterate until the age of 11, and was placed in bottom sets at school for many years and written off by many.[4]"

Political career

In Witherden's victory speech he mentioned that "Montgomeryshire is the only seat in Wales that had never had a Labour MP so history has been made here tonight".[5]

In his maiden speech, Witherden said his priorities included the creation of Great British Energy and the elimination of zero hours contracts.[4]

In parliament he is a member of the Welsh Affairs Select Committee.[6]

Personal life

Witherden is married and has a son and daughter.[3]
