Dear Editor,
With elections on the way I myself as a youth of this country feel the urge to appeal to my peers, friends, associates and all in between. I need you all to go out there and exercise your right to vote. At the end of the day we will inherit this land and it is up to us to make sure that it is placed in the right hands.
I was very pleased when I saw so many young people running for office. This is an amazing step in the right direction for country Sint Maarten. We desperately need new blood in office. We as the youth of Sint Maarten come with new ideas and a fresher take on things. No disrespect to the more mature heads that did so much for country Sint Maarten.
I've been following a lot of the new batch of young politicians and I see promise and for once I can safely say I feel a huge sense of hope. So to my young voters do your research and vote wisely. As the old saying goes that one vote can make a huge difference. So get up go out there, and vote! Set aside bias, favoritism and voting based on popularity. Listen and play close attention to what some of these politicians have to say. And look beyond 2018 and look down the road five years from now. So vote and secure a better future for yourself.
I personally endorse National Alliance candidate #22 JELANI GUMBS. I have faith in his vision. And I trust that he will keep to his word and do the right thing once elected.
