Evan was a Member of the first
Welsh Youth Parliament from 2018 to 2021.
The following was his candidate
statement for election to the first Welsh Youth Parliament:
My key issues are:
- Growing the Welsh economy
- Increasing sustainable tourism
- Improving transport in Wales
My name is Evan Burgess, I am
13 years old. The three issues I will prioritize if I am elected will be;
Growing the Welsh economy, increasing sustainable tourism and improving
transport in Wales. I believe developing these areas will create a more
prosperous Wales.
I am a competitive cyclist,
have competed at a national level and appreciate Wales' special landscape. I
have extensive people skills and am an experienced and confident public
speaker, having spoken at schools, conventions and competitions. I have
debated and formed policies within school and have sat on numerous councils,
representing viewpoints from diverse backgrounds and delivering profound
changes.
I am totally fluent in English
and Welsh, and have received awards in both languages. I hope to enter the
Welsh Youth Parliament to empower young people and improve Wales' future. I
will consult with young people in the community by going out to talk to
children and asking their opinions.
Additionally I will visit
schools and use questionnaires to hear opinions effectively. People should vote
for me as I'm determined to improve Wales, am a self-motivated, hardworking and
driven individual, have strong opinions on politics and will get your voice heard
in the Senedd.
