Experience and
leadership
for Jersey.
Dear Parishioner
I am standing as an independent candidate for Deputy of St Mary, St Peter and St Ouen.
I live with my family at L’Etacq and we greatly value the peaceful life that we enjoy in our country parishes. I am committed to working hard to keep Jersey special.
Over the past four years, I have been representing Jersey’s interests on the international stage and helping to grow key parts of our economy. This has included standing up for our Island in Brexit negotiations and supporting Jersey businesses across the world.
Maintaining a strong voice for Jersey internationally is important for building our prosperity. We are a successful community, but we face challenges. The housing crisis and significant increases in the cost of living require immediate and positive action to ensure Jersey is affordable for current and future generations. It is important that our success is shared across the community.
We must also deliver a balanced population policy, ensuring we can fill front-line jobs whilst protecting our special green spaces and coastline from further development.
It is important that we return to a prudent management of our public finances, reducing our debt, controlling public spending and keeping taxes low.
I have a proven track record of delivering for our community and have the experience and leadership required to be a strong voice for our parishes in the States. I will be an active and accessible parish Deputy, as I was previously, holding regular surgeries and standing up for parishioners.
Please get in touch if you wish to discuss anything with me. I hope you will consider me for one of your four votes on Wednesday 22nd June.
