Previously elected as a member of National Assembly for Wales, on 9 May 2015 (shortly after the Westminster election) he decided to step down as an Assembly Member so that he could fulfill his parliamentary duties for Gower.

He is the first Conservative elected for his Westminster seat, which was previously held by the Liberal or Labour party since its foundation in 1885.
