Cameron Monro
Candidate for Deputy St. Helier Central
Jersey is at risk of losing my generation. Young people who grew up here, or came here and built their lives, are being priced out, and that should worry all of us. I’m standing for St. Helier Central because I want an island where people can afford to stay, put down roots, and build a future.
My background is both technical and hands-on. I hold a Master’s degree in Cyber Security and have worked as an analyst at C5 Alliance and Logicalis, and as Technology Security Officer for the Co-Op. But I’ve also worked in a taxi office and as a delivery driver. I’ve seen Jersey from the boardroom and the delivery route.
