Lyndon Lewis.
PHILIPSBURG–Police Inspector Lyndon Lewis and business professional Richard Patrick will be contesting the January 9, 2020, snap Parliamentary elections with the United People’s (UP) party, it was stated in a press release on Thursday.
Both are no strangers to campaigning or public service, the release said. Lewis is a former candidate of the United St. Maarten Party (US Party) while Patrick is a former candidate of the St. Maarten Christian Party (SMCP).
Lewis, a married father of five, is known for his “vigorous defence” of his colleague police officers and civil servants and private sector workers in general. He defended their interests in court numerous times and claimed victories. He has a passion for rule of law and improving the justice chain on St. Maarten, which includes fair treatment of law enforcement officers.
Patrick, a married father of three, describes himself as deeply family oriented. From the age of 11, he developed an interest in politics. After becoming personally acquainted with politicians like Claude Wathey, Clem Labega and Edgar Lynch his interest in politics grew even stronger. He has worked in the hospitality industry for a decade and in the business sector for seven years.
Both candidates thanked to the board and leader of UP, Member of Parliament (MP) Rolando Brison for showing his faith in them to run on the UP’s list and advance UP’s vision for St. Maarten. They pledge to continue putting country above self and to effectively communicate with the public about how they intend to lead by example and effect real change if elected as MPs, the release said.
Richard Patrick.
