Our Community and Our Future
I have decided with the support and encouragement of family and friends to put my name forward for re-election as Senator. I am extremely proud to have had the opportunity to serve my Island and our community in a number of official capacities since I gave up a successful business career to seek election as Deputy in 2005.
Since 2008 I have held the role of Minister for Economic Development during the most severe global financial crisis imaginable. During that challenging time I have taken difficult decisions (including more officially recorded decisions than virtually any Minister) and although I have made some mistakes I have consistently delivered positive results for Islanders.
