Why I'm standing
I have decided to run as a voice for the future, being heard today. Youth engagement is something lacking, and I want to change that by being a youth standing up on behalf of everyone. I may be one of the youngest candidates in these local elections, but I am proud to be trying to stand up and represent all of our wonderful district.
About me
I really have limited experience being 18, however I am someone who is going to be around for a long time, and therefore would be able to shape the way the future of our district heads.
My priorities
- Start a youth council and enable more events in which more youth are involved.
- Ensure that grounds are kept tidy and maintained, whilst allowing the youth to have fun.
- Keep rates levels manageable by looking for ways towards alternative money making to help costs.
