Name: Jeremy MaçonAge: 21
Place of birth: Jersey
Address: Plat Douet Road, St Saviour
Family: Son of Martin and Nellie Maçon; sisters, Philippa and Katie-Marie; brother, Alex
Education: La Pouquelaye, Haute Vallée and Hautlieu Schools; Plymouth University in partnership with Highlands College
Occupation: Project support co-ordinator
Hobbies/interests: Music (all kinds – occasional DJ), going out with my friends, theatre, the natural world, history and heritage, keeping up-to-date with current events, meeting new people (my friends are all different ages – some younger than me and some older than my parents)
Election platform:
As my family have been in Jersey since the 1700s I have always been keenly interested in the Island, its people and history.
I want to give the young people of Jersey a voice. It’s rare that we’re asked for our views and even rarer for the government to consider our opinions when making major decisions. These decisions are going to affect the rest of our lives and our childrens’ lives long after most of these States Members are gone. Some of my friends have already left the Island as they see no future for themselves here.
I’ve seen the effect that taxation and the cost of living has had on ordinary people like my family. Hardworking, ordinary people shouldn’t have to worry about feeding their families or choosing between buying shoes for their children or paying the rent.
If people work hard they should see a return for their labours, not struggling whilst the government wastes their taxes on steam clocks, money which would be better spent on providing medical care locally rather than having to travel away from their families when at their lowest ebb. My dearest wish is to help the youth and ordinary people of Jersey.
Proposers: Graeme Mauger, Maurice Merhet, Hanora Jones, Philippa Maçon, Laura Smith, Callum Alexandre, Nellie Maçon, Alister Shield-Laignel, Christine Larose and Vincent Thorne.
Nomination speech:
JEREMY Maçon is the youngest candidate to stand in the Senatorial elections. The 21-year-old is a former Hautlieu School pupil who graduated from the University of Plymouth with a BSC (Hons) Joint Social Sciences degree earlier this year. His proposer, Graeme Mauger, said he nominated the candidate because he was an exceptional young man who had planned a career in politics since he was 16 years old. During his speech at the Town Hall Mr Mauger said that Mr Maçon’s family had roots in the Island going back to the 1700s. He said the candidate, who has worked as a sales assistant, truly wished to give people a voice and added that he was a man of integrity, courage and energy who wanted to represent people young and old. Mr Maçon was against GST, supported free child care and wanted Fort Regent to be regenerated to allow affordable facilities for young people.
