Fighting for You, Representing You

Free Democratic Movement Candidate for Constituency 17

With over 25 years of experience as a Labourite, I have dedicated my life to standing up for workers’ rights, fair representation, and economic justice. As a Hamilton Princess Acting Chief Shop Steward, Assistant Chief Shop Steward, and Assistant Secretary of the Hotel Division, I have spent my career fighting for fair wages, better working conditions, and equal opportunities for all workers—regardless of race, nationality, or background.

I believe in One People, One Bermuda—a country that welcomes all, supports all, and uplifts all. It is time for a government that is inclusive, not divisive—one that puts the interests of the people ahead of political agendas. I am committed to equal representation and ensuring that every Bermudian has a fair chance at success.

The Issues I Plan to Address

Bermuda is facing serious challenges, and I am ready to bring real solutions to the table. My priorities include:

Fishing Legislation – Strengthening laws to protect and grow Bermuda’s fishing industry.
BELCO Reform – Demanding fair energy rates and sustainable solutions for all Bermudians.
Senior Care – Ensuring better healthcare and assisted living support for our elders.
Safer Communities – Improving roads, lighting, and CCTV coverage, especially at sports clubs, youth centers, and afterschool programs.
Affordable Housing & Rent Control – Making sure Bermudians can afford to live in their own country.
Two-Day Trash Collection – Reintroducing twice-weekly pickups for cleaner, healthier communities.
Fair Labor Practices – Ensuring that St. Regis to Greystone construction workers are unionized and protected under labor laws.
Marijuana Legislation – Implementing fair and structured regulations for the cannabis industry.

A Government That Works for You

Bermuda needs real leadership, not just talk. I am ready to fight for the working class, for families, for businesses, and for the future of our country. Together, we will create a fairer, more prosperous, and more inclusive Bermuda.

Your support is the key to making real change happen. Let’s build a Bermuda that works for all of us—not just the few.
