CANDIDATE STATEMENT

As a passionate advocate for the rights of young people I want to be a member of the Welsh Youth Parliament to ensure that every voice is heard. Young people have some of the biggest struggles in society, but the voices that are least heard; our opinions are excluded, dismissed and ignored. I'm here to change that.

I have been an important member of my school council for over five years, so I have all the debating skills needed to make progress within the Senedd. I have also been a fire cadet for two years and a member of a rugby team for 10 years, so I have a lot of experience of working in a team. I would bring all these skills to the Senedd.

I’m an enthusiastic member of the community. I see all the problems experienced by the young people of today and I want to fix them. I'm also a sociable person and I’m more than happy to contact locals to get their views and ideas. So, if you want someone who is confident and experienced in parliament this year, here I am.

DATGANIAD YMGEISYDD

Fel eiriolwr angerddol dros hawliau pobl ifanc rwyf am fod yn aelod o Senedd Ieuenctid Cymru i sicrhau bod pob llais yn cael ei glywed. Mae gan bobl ifanc rai o’r brwydrau mwyaf mewn cymdeithas, ond y lleisiau sy’n cael eu clywed lleiaf; mae ein barn yn cael ei gadael, diystyru a’i anwybyddu. Rydw i yma i newid hynny.

Dwi’n wedi bod aelod pwysig o fy nghyngor ysgol am dros bum mlynedd, felly mae gennyf yr holl sgiliau dadlau sydd eu hangen i wneud cynnydd o fewn y Senedd. Rwyf hefyd wedi bod yn gadet dân am y ddwy flynedd ac aelod o dîm rygbi am 10 mlynedd, felly mae lawer o brofiad mewn gwaith tîm gyda fi. Rydw i’n dod â’r holl sgiliau hyn i’r Senedd.

Dwi’n aelod brwd o'r gymuned. Gwelaf yr holl broblemau a brofir gan ieuenctid heddiw ac rwy'n awyddus i'w trwsio. Rydw i hefyd yn berson cymdeithasol ac yn fwy na pharod i gyfathrebu gyda'r bobl leol i gael eu barn a'u syniadau. Felly, os ydych eisiau rhywun hyderus a profiadol yn y senedd eleni, dyma fi.
