I am pleased to announce that I am standing as a candidate for Member of the House of Keys because I believe Glenfaba and Peel needs strong, practical, experienced representation at a time when the Isle of Man faces important choices about its future.
I care deeply about Glenfaba and Peel. I want to make sure the west of the Island is not overlooked, that local voices are heard clearly in Tynwald, and that government decisions are tested against the real needs of the people who live and work here.
My motivation is simple: I want to work with others to build a healthier, more sustainable, better connected, and more financially responsible Island. That means improving access to health and care, supporting young people with real opportunities, investing in infrastructure that works, strengthening transport links, protecting our environment, and making sure public money is spent wisely.
I am also standing because I believe politics should be constructive. People are tired of arguments that go nowhere and promises that are not followed through. I will listen, work with others, challenge poor decisions when necessary, and focus on practical results rather than political point-scoring.
My experience as a commissioner, MHK, community volunteer, and local resident has taught me that progress is achieved by preparation, negotiation, teamwork and persistence. Whether it is affordable housing, Peel regeneration, a sewage treatment plant, harbour maintenance, community facilities, or better support for local businesses, the job of an MHK is to keep pushing until things are delivered.
We should value our independence, protect our communities, make better use of our own resources, and give families and young people a real reason to stay, return, and thrive here.
Above all, I am standing to serve. If elected, I will work hard for Glenfaba and Peel, speak up for our constituency, and help deliver a brighter future together
