Walton Brown and Premier Paula Cox.

Walton Brown was this afternoon unveiled as the PLP candidate to run in the Pembroke Central constituency at the next general election.At a statement during a press conference at Alaska Hall, Mr Brown said: "Since returning to Bermuda after my studies abroad I have given back to help improve our country."For 12 years I served as a lecturer at Bermuda College helping to put our young people on a stronger footing; I have tried to influence policy and shape views through my writing and lobbying."I think my book that was recently published contributes towards this. Internationally, I have worked with the United Nations Decolonisation Committee since 1990 to provide information, analysis and advice on UK/Bermuda relations."My goal is to work for the interests of all Bermudians. I pledge to listen attentively to their concerns and to work hard to address them."To the voters of Pembroke Central, I pledge to provide you with access to me via telephone, emails, home visits and constituency walkabouts. I will not be an absent MP."In fact, I live on the very border of Constituency 17 and am in the area every day. I further pledge that I will liaise with you on all national issues as we seek to address our greatest challenges in more than a generation: the rising tide of crime, declining tourism, real job opportunities, equality of opportunity for government work, the cost of living and the need for affordable housing."My commitment is genuine and my work ethic to help make Bermuda better is clear. I look forward to working with the constituents and serving our country to the best of my abilities."
