It’s time for everyone in District Three to get fair representation, said first-time political candidate Kevin “OJ” Smith at his campaign launch with the National Democratic Party Saturday evening in Sea Cows Bay.
“Since when did it become our right to look out for some of our people and not for others?” asked Mr. Smith, while those under the tent cheered. He said he plans to be a “comprehensive” representative of the district, getting input from residents throughout the district and establishing committees where necessary.
The territory has recently become beholden to the representatives it elects, serving the representatives rather than being served by them, Mr Smith said.
“We can no longer afford to grovel and beg for work,” he said.
