My introduction to politics came in the early 80s when my high school held mock elections and, being a voracious reader at the time, I was triggered by the Plaid Cymru leaflets.
Like most Valleys men, getting and keeping a job and raising a family was everything until 2015 when Yes Cymru held the Merthyr march moved me from supporter to activist.
Since then I have stood for Senedd and Council and believe that I need to be active to help bring about the positive change that we need in Wales and that only Plaid Cymru offer that positive change.
