Randy Baltimore Outlines Development Agenda at St. Philip\u2019s North Town Hall<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Antigua and Barbuda Labour Party candidate Randy Baltimore has pledged \u201cpractical progress\u201d and community-focused development if elected in the March 16 by-election, outlining three key pillars during a town hall meeting in the constituency.<\/p>

Addressing supporters, Baltimore described St. Philip\u2019s North as a community of \u201chard-working men and women, strong families, determined young people, and elders whose wisdom has helped shape who we are.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe\u2019ve made progress, and we can go even further together,\u201d he said. \u201cMy focus is simple \u2014 practical progress, real community development, and leadership that stays accountable to the people.\u201d<\/p>

Baltimore identified environmental stewardship as his first priority, arguing that protecting the constituency\u2019s land and coastline is critical to public health and long-term resilience.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n

\u201cProtecting the environment isn\u2019t just a nice idea. It is necessary,\u201d he said. \u201cCleaner practices and sustainability protect public health, strengthen resilience, and reduce risk for the future.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

His second pillar, self-development and empowerment, centres on expanding opportunities for young people and working families.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe goal is to support programs that build skills, confidence, and clear pathways to success,\u201d Baltimore said. \u201cWhen people are equipped, the whole community rises.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He also emphasised partnership and unity, saying development would require collective effort rather than individual leadership alone.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe vision isn\u2019t about one person, it\u2019s about all of us. It will take partnership, unity and consistent effort,\u201d he said.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Baltimore indicated plans to build on existing initiatives in the area, including efforts to establish expanded emergency services. He referenced the need for an emergency medical services presence in the constituency, including an ambulance and fire services, as well as a pharmacy to serve residents and neighbouring communities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI want to build on that legacy. I want to build on the foundation that is laid before me,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The by-election, scheduled for March 16, follows the resignation of the previous parliamentary representative. Baltimore urged constituents to turn out in support of the Labour Party.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cGo out. Vote Labour Party, vote Randy Baltimore, and we all will be safe and secure,\u201d he told the gathering.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
