WREXHAM'S MS says it will be a 'privilege' to be able to continue to serve the people of Wales in her new role within the Senedd.
New First Minister of Wales, Vaughan Gething, appointed his ministerial team last week.
That cabinet shake-up saw many MS' change roles as Mr Gething promised to bring 'optimism, ambition and unity' to Wales.
Wrexham MS Lesley Griffiths is one of those members who has seen her role change.
She has been appointed Cabinet Secretary for Culture and Social Justice, having previously been the Welsh Government's Minister for Rural Affairs for eight years.

Looking ahead to the challenge of the new role, Mrs Griffiths said: “It is a privilege to continue to serve the people of Wales as part of the new Welsh Labour Government.
“The social justice part of the portfolio includes many of the reasons I entered politics. Arts and culture are a very important part of Welsh life and I have been a massive sports fan all my life.
“North Wales is a cultural powerhouse, with fantastic venues such as Theatr Clwyd, and I look forward to working closely with my colleague, Ken Skates, the new Minister for North Wales.
“There are also a number of excellent organisations throughout Wales that focus on the equalities agenda and I look forward to working with them.”
