Karen Wilson
Candidate for Deputy St. Clement
I’m Karen Wilson, your local candidate standing for Deputy in St. Clement. I’m a registered nurse and I have lived and worked in Jersey for four years. I adore this beautiful island with its unique culture and heritage. My partner Max and I are proud to call Jersey our home.
I am standing for election because, like many of you, I am very worried by the way Jersey is being run. Our elected representatives are not in the driving seat. Huge decisions are being made without proper groundwork and oversight. For example, our new hospital is on track to cost more than than a major UK teaching hospital. How can this be?
