David Benn
Candidate for Deputy St. Mary, St. Ouen and St. Peter
I am standing for Deputy in the Parishes of St Ouen, St Mary and St Peter as a Jersey Liberal Conservative candidate (JLC).
I have lived in St Ouen for almost half of my life, farmed land in St Mary and we are moving to St Peter this year.
The reason that I am standing is simply that I cannot stand on the side-line and watch our children’s and grandchildren’s future frittered away. The manner in which the Island is being governed and managed gives me no confidence for their future.
In the JLC we are listening, we have a strong manifesto, available at www.jlc.je ,and now that we are in coalition with the Progress Party (TPP), we have a strong base from which we can push forward the changes that must happen for the Island’s future, under the leadership of Sir Philip Bailhache.
