Owain Williams

Owain was a Member of the second Welsh Youth Parliament from 2021 to 2024.

The following was his candidate statement for election to the second Welsh Youth Parliament:

My key issues are:

• Securing housing for young people
• The future of the Welsh language
• Global warming

Candidate Statement: Currently in Wales, we face many threats. We have global problems like climate change and problems that are literally on our doorstep, like second homes pushing house prices up and pushing local people out. This problem is destroying our communities, destroying our language and destroying our future in the area. I firmly believe that we need a solution to these problems in order to secure a future for Wales. If elected, I would have my say on these issues, and would express any other message that the young people in my area want me to raise in y Senedd. I would achieve this by using social media websites, where it would be easy to contact me. I believe that I am a suitable candidate for this role as I am interested in politics and have a thorough understanding of the problems we face. I also have past experience in voicing my opinions and presenting ideas to an audience, for example, being part of my school year forum and also presenting my Welsh Baccalaureate enterprise project to a local charity. I hope I can count on your vote. Thank you.
