We need deputies who can emphasise the human and community perspective to balance the more impersonal business stance surrounding policy changes and legislation.
I am that person. I have the skills. I have the experience. I have the drive.
The States chamber is where laws and financial decisions are made, and I want to be involved. Why? Because Guernsey’s future affects us all, and we deserve the best from our government.

Key Issues for me
Affordable housing is truly one of Guernsey’s most pressing challenges. We’ve reached a point where both house prices and rents have climbed so high that many of our young people and those with middle incomes are finding it tough to secure an affordable place to live. Sadly, this situation may push them to leave the island in search of a suitable living situation for themselves and their families. Not only does this create a significant emotional and social impact, but we also genuinely need our young people here. Their skills are vital for Guernsey’s future. I’ve been researching and sharing ideas in housing forums, and I truly believe there are viable solutions out there. I’m eager to contribute positively by working with the Housing Committee to make a difference.
Dr. Nicola Brink has emphasized that preventing disease and promoting good health will be key in managing our island’s health service. With five and a half years of training and a fulfilling career dedicated to promoting good health in the community, I am excited about the opportunity to bring my expertise to the next Health and Social Care committee, should I be elected.
Our supply lines are vital to all of us. We must continue the work already started to ensure our ports and airport are fit for purpose into the future.
Now that the education reorganisation is well underway, I would prioritise the completion of the infrastructure and bring stability for our children.
I would encourage any policies that promote economic growth and productivity as this underpins our public services and our quality of life. Central to this would be to encourage economic diversification, particularly in digital services which have little impact on the environment, are easily exported and which give employment for our creative and talented young people.
Our environment should not be seen as a separate issue but should be woven into every decision we make. We need to assess the environmental impact of every policy and work towards utilising our natural tide and wind power resources to create clean renewable energy.
My Promise
If elected I promise that I will read, listen and use all evidence made available to me to ensure that I make carefully considered decisions. I would never forget the trust that the people of the Bailiwick of Guernsey have demonstrated in voting for me.
