Pam Cameron MLA (born 30 December 1971; formerly Lewis, née Pamela Brown) is a Democratic Unionist Party politician in Northern Ireland who has sat in the Northern Ireland Assembly since 2011 as the Member of the Legislative Assembly (MLA) for the South Antrim constituency.[2]
Cameron was elected to Antrim Borough Council in 2005 and was elected as the Council's first woman Mayor in 2010.[3] Prior to her election to the Assembly, Cameron was the constituency office manager for the politician Sammy Wilson.[4] Speaking about her election success, Cameron said: "I thought I would do well but I did not think I would get to this stage. I know there are Roman Catholics who voted for me and that I have cross-community support. I hope that continues."[1]
