Tina Palmer
Candidate for Connétable in St. Lawrence
I am standing for Connétable because I care deeply about protecting what makes our parish special. As Connétable, I will represent St Lawrence both at parish level and in the States Assembly, ensuring our parish voice is heard clearly in island-wide decisions.
For more than 35 years, my working life has been dedicated to supporting Islanders — helping people find employment, guiding young people as they begin their careers, and working alongside businesses as they grow and adapt. Through my roles on the Employment Forum, Skills Board and with Highlands College, I have contributed to employment legislation and skills strategies that support families and businesses across Jersey. I have also been an active Rotarian for over 20 years, including serving as President, and I am proud to be a founding member of the Island of Longevity initiative.
