Campaigning for Jessica Morden MP (Newport East), and listening to the public’s concerns has prepared me for representing the youth of my constituency by ensuring their issues are raised and addressed adequately. I have an extensive knowledge of devolved politics as I completed work experience with John Griffiths MS (Newport East) during the 2024 election campaign which will allow me to successfully discourse about the challenges that young people are facing day to day. Competing in public speaking competitions at the Eisteddfod Yr Urdd last summer, and presenting Clwb Dadlau (Debate Club) in my school, will allow me to prosperously communicate young people’s concerts effectively. In addition, studying A-Level Politics has advanced my understanding of UK Politics and Devolution as I studied the units, Devolution, First Ministerial Powers and Devolution Challenges which I achieved an A grade during my AS Level exam last summer. This is why, I firmly believe I will succeed in the role.
Mae ymgyrchu dros Jessica Morden AS (Dwyrain Casnewydd), a gwrando ar bryderon y cyhoedd wedi fy mharatoi ar gyfer cynrychioli ieuenctid fy etholaeth drwy sicrhau bod eu materion yn cael eu codi ac yn cael sylw digonol. Mae gennyf wybodaeth helaeth o wleidyddiaeth ddatganoledig gan i mi wneud profiad gwaith gyda John Griffiths AS (Dwyrain Casnewydd) yn ystod ymgyrch etholiad 2024 a fydd yn fy ngalluogi i drafod yn llwyddiannus yr heriau y mae pobl ifanc yn eu hwynebu o ddydd i ddydd. Bydd cystadlu mewn cystadlaethau siarad cyhoeddus yn Eisteddfod yr Urdd yr haf diwethaf, a chynrychioli Clwb Dadlau fy ysgol, yn fy ngalluogi i gyfathrebu pryderon pobl ifanc yn effeithiol. Yn ogystal, mae astudio Gwleidyddiaeth Safon Uwch wedi datblygu fy nealltwriaeth o wleidyddiaeth a datganoli yn y DU wrth i mi astudio’r unedau: Datganoli, Pwerau’r Prif Weinidog a Heriau Datganoli ac enillais radd A yn fy arholiad Safon UG yr haf diwethaf. Dyma pam, rwy’n credu’n gryf y byddaf yn llwyddo yn y rôl.
