Harrison 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:
Youth engagement in local communities
Variety in healthy food choices
Combating youth drug abuse
I wish to be a member of the
Welsh Youth Parliament because I believe there is no better platform to make a
difference and that I as the voice can deliver the change my constituency
seeks.
I am well respected among my
peers and therefore will be a welcoming face to those who wish to share their
ideas. I am more than prepared to visit local youth centres as a platform to
facilitate the consultation and representation of younger people.
I should be voted for as I am
aware of the issues facing the youth of our society and feel the need to make
amends. I will listen to others, take ideas on board and ensure their voice is
heard. What separates me from the rest is my knowledge and interest in politics
which allows me to understand the task at hand and demonstrate that I am more
than capable to fulfill the role.
I have experience in my School
Parliament as treasurer. In my school parliament I have encouraged a large amount
of change for the better, however I believe that to head further I must move
onto a national level in order to make the changes I seek.
