The words qualified, experienced, committed and passionate describe the number 12 candidate on the St. Maarten Christian Party (SMCP) list, none other than Atwell Terrance Rey, a candidate with over 25 years of experience in business development, Internet startups, e-commerce and technology; with over 15 years of experience in the travel, tourism and aviation sectors; and, most importantly, with a solid basis of 9 years of experience in Parliament and Government as Policy Adviser, serving from 2010 to 2012 in Parliament and from 2012 to 2019 as Deputy Secretary of the Progress Committee St. Maarten.
“My specialty in serving for the past 7 years on the Progress Committee has been managing the oversight of the Ministry of Justice as Head of the Secretariat on St. Maarten and acting as liaison for the committee members and the local counterparts and stakeholders in the Justice chain,” Rey explains. “The primary responsibility of the committee is the overseeing of the execution of the Plans of Approach, in particular the plans of action for the St. Maarten Police Force and for the Prison Detention System.
“Having served two years in Parliament as Policy Advisor from 2010 to 2012, I would like to go back into Parliament and tackle the backlog of laws that need updating and synchronizing with our present day reality,” Rey continued. “Choosing the SMCP to make that a reality was based on the party’s guiding principles of integrity, transparency and good governance.”
The SMCP is the party Rey truly believes that will bring the true and long-lasting stability in government the country desperately needs.
Rey: “I would like to make special mention of former MP Claude “Chacho” Peterson and make known why I applaud Claude – #applaudclaude – for being the inspiration for me choosing the St. Maarten Christian Party (SMCP) as the party of choice for me to enter the political arena. Chacho has been very vocal on issues that resonated with me, but what I liked about what he had to say was that he always spoke from the heart.
“I will be proud to contest these upcoming 2020 elections with Chacho and the rest of the SMCP team. Together with the team I will continue to define my platform and find my voice on the topics that are close to my heart. This must culminate in a 12-point vision program for the island of St. Maarten as a country. There is a reason why I am candidate #12 on the SMCP slate. There is much work to be done.
“In the meantime, as I contest this election I will make no promises; every man and every woman who cast their vote, exercising their hard-won democratic right to do so, I will represent to the best of my abilities; and I will make each and every vote count,” Rey concluded.
Terrance Rey is qualified, experienced, committed and passionate about offering his service to the people of St. Maarten. Therefore, the SMCP is proud to have Atwell Terrance Rey as Candidate #12 on the party’s slate.
