Early life

Brown-Fuller was born in Norwich, Norfolk, to a Londoner father and a Welsh mother. The family moved to West Sussex in the 1990s for her mother's career.[3] Brown-Fuller graduated from the University of Chichester's Department of Theatre in 2013 with a performing arts degree.[4]

Political career

Brown-Fuller has been the events officer for Midhurst Town Council.[5] She is a member of Chichester District Council, first elected in the 2023 council election.[3]

Brown-Fuller was elected as Member of Parliament for Chichester in the 2024 general election, defeating Gillian Keegan, the education secretary.[6]

Personal life

Before being elected as a Councillor, and subsequently a Member of Parliament, she opened a restaurant in Midhurst,[7] which since has permanently closed after a fire in a neighbouring building severely damaged the restaurant.[9]
