I am Laine Woolcock and I am a life-long resident of the
Ogmore constituency. Growing up in Ogmore, I have an acute awareness and
appreciation of the issues that the younger generation of our valley hold dear.
I want to represent Ogmore because I am a staunch believer in the equal
representation of young people and I am steadfast in my determination to bring
about real, progressive change for our younger generation. I possess an
inherent passion for public service and, as a member of the Welsh Youth
Parliament, I will prioritize the issues that our younger generation cares
deeply about. That is why I have chosen to make public transport, education and
the environment the focal point of my candidacy and future work in the parliament.
To ensure that my constituents' views are represented
fairly, I will hold events; wherein they can share their views and ideas
regarding contemporary issues. I will then make it my prerogative to represent
these views in the parliament. I believe that we can achieve great things when
we listen to others and this is a skill that I believe will make me a good
representative for young people, if I am fortunately elected.
