Poppy Jones

Poppy 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:

• Care for the NHS
• Our environment
• The Welsh Language

Candidate Statement: Hello, my name is Poppy Jones, and I’m a sixth form pupil at Ysgol Syr Hugh Owen. I believe passionately in politics and feel that I have the skills to represent my area at the Senedd in Cardiff. I have a keen interest in education, the environment and the NHS, things that are very important to us as young people. If I were to be elected I would go straight to open social media accounts such as Twitter and Instagram where you could contact me to share articles and pictures. 

I’m an open-minded person and like to listen to other people’s ideas. I believe I have the confidence and communication skills to voice my opinion and get my message over. It would be a huge honour to represent Ysgol Syr Hugh Owen and Arfon at the Senedd in Cardiff. Wales and the world are facing enormous challenges in future and I would like to be able to contribute to solve these challenges and to ensure that the voice of young people in Arfon are listened to. Because of the above, it would be my greatest privilege to decide to vote for me.
