Kirsty Williams has been the Welsh Assembly member for Brecon and Radnor for twenty two years. She's gone from new member to leading her party (the Lib Dems) in Wales, and has served as Education Minister in Wales. Before she became AM, she was involved in the campaign for Welsh devolution. She's also campaigned for a law requiring a minimum staffing level for nurses in Welsh hospitals. She was made a CBE in 2013 in the Queen's Birthday Honours List.
She's also been very much involved in local matters in Hay - the last time I saw her was on the stage in the new school hall as part of the Silver Jubilee celebrations for Dial-a-Ride. She also did as much as she could to help the HOWLS Library campaign.
Now she has released a letter - I saw it on the Hay Community page on Facebook - saying that she would not stand for the next Senedd elections.
I don't know what she's planning to do in the future, but I wish her all the best.
