Kerryne James

Dear Resident of St. John,

I am Kerryne James and a firm believer in the value of education as a passport to upward mobility. As a member of a working class family, I capitalized on the opportunities provided though education and committed myself to the development of youth within my community. I bring youthful fervor, fresh ideas and diligence to represent this constituency in the upcoming general election. 

I will seek to develop St. John to its fullest potential through dynamic leadership, bringing concrete solutions to the problems affecting constituents, and facilitating people’s participation and empowerment. I therefore appeal to the youths of Grenada and of my constituency in particular to take advantage of all educational opportunities available.

MY VISION is for a united, family-centered, productive, and healthy constituency, caring for its elderly, protecting its children, educating its young people, and contributing to the national sustainable development of our parish. 

UNDER MY LEADERSHIP in St. John I will endeavour to:

• Re-establish and manifest St. John as the “fishing parish,” so that our residents will be able to sustainably enjoy a decent quality of life 
• Provide 24-hour community healthcare service at the Gouyave Health Complex.
• Promote and enhance the conservation of our fish stock while protecting our marine coastline. We shall expand the fish storage capacity and provide a fish processing  facility.
• Implement facilities to emphasize and promote youth development through skills training.
• Promote and support the traditional mas such as Vieux Corps, Moko Jumbie, and Shortknee. 
• Train and promote musicians, entertainers, and creative residents within the constituency. 
• Upgrade the Cuthbert Peters park to accommodate national sporting events and activities that promote health and wellness.
• Embark on replanting of all our spices in St. John.
• Provide access to affordable housing. 

Most sincerely yours,

Kerryne James

NDC Candidate for the Constituency of St. John
