Democratic Labour Party (DLP) St George North Branch member, Colin Spencer.
This weekend, the Democratic Labour Party (DLP) candidate for St George North, Floyd Reifer received an endorsement from another son of the soil, DLP representative Colin Spencer.
Speaking during the DLP Mega Weekend Concert and Public Meeting at the Glebe, St George on Sunday evening, Spencer gave a heart-warming public endorsement of the candidacy of Reifer, saying that the people of Barbados were in a different and difficult time and there was no need to be fancy but is a time to be thoughtful, reasonable, truthful and honest.
The DLP St George North Branch member also reminded the crowd on hand that it takes an enormous amount of courage to step into politics and he had never met anyone with as much courage as Reifer.
“For him to enter politics at this time, given all that that he and the Democratic Labour Party is up against is true testament to his character, his loyalty to the people of St George North who he wants to serve and the understanding of his need to want to safeguard our democracy, says all you need to know about this man,” said Spencer
Despite the possible push back from the current administration, should Reifer win the seat, Spencer stated that the candidate was smart and intelligent and would have the support of the myriad of professionals within St George North.
“We are fully aware that we are representing all of the opposition forces on the island, all of those people who are dissatisfied and uncomfortable with the goings on in our country,” highlighted Spencer.
The DLP St. George North member highlighted that the by-election was not a time for grandstanding and political gimmicks but it was time for good leadership which would take care of the people of Barbados, to help the workers, those laid off or those under financial pressure, to put food on their tables. He spoke directly to Reifer, saying that he was in good company as a born and bred resident of St George, entering politics, following behind men such as Jack Odle, Cyril Walker and Gline Clarke.
Spencer also thanked the constituents of St George North for their support of Reifer and stated that the candidate was not just worthy but capable of representing the residents.
“He is a decent man, a true professional, a loyal son of this constituency of St George North.
He is full of new and refreshing ideas for the further development of this constituency,” said the DLP representative.
He finally urged the residents of St George North not to take anything for granted but to go to the polls on November 11th, 2020 to vote for Reifer, an honest candidate for the Democratic Labour Party. (AS)
