Dear Editor,
On behalf of the entire URSM family, my wife and my children, I would like to wish you a blessed, safe, healthy and hopeful New Year.
Every holiday season we reflect on the highs and lows of the past year and set our sights on the year ahead. At the beginning of 2022, I promised you that as a party, URSM would be taking another road, a different approach towards politics, a new attitude to ensure that we capture and focus on what counts and what is important in building a future for the next generation, and the generations to come.
In doing so, we worked tirelessly as a party to find competent and qualified candidates who are compassionate, who have an unconditional love for their country, and will always put our country above self. We continued to focus on solution-based suggestions, based on reliable and proper research and factual data.
In 2023, we promise to continue to build on the steppingstones of 2022, as we prepare for the upcoming elections. As leader of the URSM, I speak to many of you on a daily basis. Your personal stories and daily life challenges touch and motivate me to continue to lead and guide our URSM candidates as we focus on solutions that will combat poverty, improve the overall wellbeing of all St. Maarteners, raise the quality and accessibility of education and healthcare for our people, and dare promote solutions that will contribute to a much-needed nation building since 10-10-10.
The entire URSM family is asking you humbly for your support by the upcoming elections for us in embracement and collaboration to make St. Maarten the country that we all envision and dream of.
Dr. Luc Mercelina
Political leader of the URSM
