Original Manifesto

Mike Jackson

Candidate for Connétable in St. Brelade

Born and bred in St. Brélade, I currently live in the Vingtaine des Quennevais and work in St.Aubin

My background and training is in the marine leisure industry and I’m the proprietor of a boatyard, chandlery shop and Post Office which has been trading successfully for some 45 years.

I have a son who is a Master Mariner based in Jersey. He has a 3-year-old son. My daughter is a flight attendant based in Detroit, USA. She has an 8-month-old daughter. I am naturally very proud of my family.

I believe I have a proven and credible record as Connetable, having served from 2005 to 2011 and again since 2018.
