Owen Cutler

Statement to voters

Hi! I am your Plaid Cymru candidate for the new seat of Rhondda and Ogmore. I am a 23-year-old engineer, raised in Cymmer and now living in Penrhiwfer. My parents' work at Sunjuice, and my Gransha's tales of the miners' strike have shaped my political beliefs. Outside of work and politics, I enjoy running and watching rugby. As someone who has benefitted from free school meals and being the first university graduate in my family, I understand the struggles of social mobility. For more than half my life I have lived through austerity, witnessing hundreds of job losses, high streets decimated, and many community services gone.  I refuse to believe this is as good as it gets for us.  I'm standing to be our strong, local voice in Westminster, fighting for fair funding and a green economic future for the valleys.
