Juliette Gallichan

Deputy Juliette Gallichan says she finds her current position rewarding but received a number of expressions of support from people in St Mary so she decided to run for Constable.

As the former parish secretary she feels she understands the way St Mary is run.

As an existing member of the States she already sits on a number of panels and committees including holding the role of vice-chair of the Education and Home Affairs Scrutiny Panels.

Election Manifesto - 200 Word Version
My support and enthusiasm for the parish system is well documented but if it is to continue to play a relevant and important part in Island life, it is vital that Connétables also take on challenging positions in the States. As a former parish secretary, I believe that my wide understanding of parish administration and my proven relationship with the parishioners and municipality of St Mary combine with my experience as parish Deputy to make me uniquely well qualified to take on this role and to be immediately effective in both the parish and the States Assembly.

The role of Connétable involves more than politics and management, however. The Connétable must lead and energise the parish and I have the enthusiasm, the drive, the community involvement and the demonstrated support to do both. The Connétable has a wide and varied workload and I have the flexibility, depth of knowledge and experience to know how best to deal with situations that are likely to arise. I understand the most obvious course of action is not always the most effective and am committed to ensuring that the best interests of the parish as a whole are the motivating factor behind any response.
