Ella was a Member of the second Welsh Youth Parliament from
2021 to 2024.
The following was her candidate statement for election to
the second Welsh Youth Parliament:
My key issues are:
Combatting
climate change locally
Promoting
equality and mental health
Supporting
key workers (pandemic recovery)
Candidate Statement: Change starts with us. Change for the
environment, the economy, and the people. A vote for me is a vote for everyone,
as I will put the Welsh community’s needs as top priority. I am experienced and
well versed in politics as someone who has engaged in mock elections and read
political theory. I would continuously communicate with my peers for their
input on how I can benefit our area. I want to see Swansea thrive, and build a
future where we can grow up in a diverse, accepting and safe place. I am an
environmentalist with a big heart for preserving our nature and the beautiful
sceneries which are in Swansea. I would be an excellent Youth Parliament Member
due to my ambitiousness, passion and logical brain. As someone who is
marginalised, I am dedicated to improving the lives of those who are
discriminated against. I, like many others, have lost loved ones to the
pandemic and am eager to support the key workers when it is most crucial. I
know that working with others means that I must accommodate towards their
needs, therefore I will make any discussions I have locally accessible. Vote
for me, vote for Swansea.
