NASSAU, Bahamas, August 9, 2021 — Progressive Liberal Party (PLP) Philip “Brave” Davis posted a photo of Jamahl D. Strachan, PLP candidate for Nassau Village, on his Facebook page on Monday, August 9, with the following brief comment: “Jamahl D. Strachan is great work in Nassau Village. He will be a positive presence in the community for years to come.”
In the photo that accompanies this article, Mr. Strachan is seen conversing with two young children.
Mr. Davis’ assessment of the “positive presence” Jamahl D. Strachan will have in the Nassau Village community “for years to come” is strongly supported by this commentary from Mr. Strachan’s website:
“As a constituent of the great Nassau Village constituency, the call to serve is not a task that I took lightly. My community deserves a new type of leadership. A millennial view with a progressive approach to the socio- economic issues we face. Responsive, Reliable and Innovative representation is what my community can expect from me.
These key values are my mantra and will continue to guide my efforts to create a “Stronger Village.”
RESPONSIVE: Too long has it been the norm for Nassau Villagers to see assistance, guidance and general help from their Representative, only to be asked to make an appointment, reschedule or return a call; all of which are understandable, except that’s where the communication ended. I pledge to be accessible and responsive to inquiry and advise of any schedule changes that would lead to a constituent’s time being wasted or to disenfranchise a constituent in any way due to nonresponse.
RELIABLE: Over the last four years constituents have listened and believed commitments made by various Candidates to enhance their standard of living, a multitude of promises of grandeur; these pie in the sky dreams have led to skepticism and disbelief. I pledge to be bound by my commitments made and not to mislead or misrepresent my abilities.
INNOVATIVE: Following the ravaging impacts of COVID-19, the world has been forced to revisit and reinvent how we operate. Considering limitations, we are also forced to rethink how we allocate vital monetary resources. I pledge to reassess the way that the constituency is run to ensure that any resource leakages are streamlined and plugged. I also pledge to utilise my unique view of existing systems to ensure that Nassau Village has the most contemporary leadership.”
