My response is usually that I have a vision are punished of a much better Nevis and I am running for office to make lives better for ALL Nevisians. I am not running for office to satisfy the dreams of a few people on – Supt. Henry government contracts. I am running for office to make lives better for every single household on Nevis. I am not running for office so that I can show my wardrobe and kitchen. I am running for office so that I can provide an environment where food is on your kitchen table. I am not running for office so that I can be seen as better than anyone else and be condescending to those who disagree with me. I am running for office so that even for those who disagree with me, you will have a seat at the table and your views and ideas will be respected. I am not running for office to become Ms. Popular. I am running for office to produce positive results. I am not running for office to fill my purse. Too many pockets have already been filled by those whom we have placed our trust in to represent us.
