Pickstock and Fort George Residents Celebrate P.U.P. Candidate Victories

Today, we visited residents in the Fort George and Pickstock electoral divisions to hear their thoughts on the automatic wins of their People’s United Party candidates. It turns out that both Henry Charles Usher and Anthony Mahler are very popular in their areas. Everywhere we went and every home we visited, people were happy about the victory, even if it means there won’t be any election day votes for them.

 

Errol Alvarez, Pickstock Resident

“Right now I think you are talking to the wrong guy because Minister Mahler is my boss. And I think it is great for the community.”

 

Paul Lopez

“What has de done for you, your family and community?”

 

Errol Alvarez

“A lot, he has done a lot. Mr. Mahler is good for Pickstock community. He has done a lot.”

Alex Sanker, Pickstock Resident

“I never vote fifty-four years of my life. I vote on canvas. That is the most effective way. It is no news me and Anthony Mahler is at odds with him disrespecting my work, but at the end of the way people got me twisted because Mahler is to me the best tourism minister ever graced this country and that is fact.”
