Elizabeth Deacon as the approved candidate for Constituency 4, St. George’s South.

 

Elizabeth was born and raised in Bermuda and comes from a long line of Bermudian family doctors.

 

She attended school in Bermuda and gained a BA in French and Russian from the University of Exeter in the UK before returning to Bermuda to work as a journalist. She continued her career in public relations and communications in the UK before moving back to Bermuda in 2006 to work as a senior member of the communications team at PartnerRe.

 

The married mother of two returned to Bermuda so her children could experience a Bermuda childhood and the benefits of growing up in a close community.

 

As a working woman and a mother, Elizabeth is concerned about the enormous debt Bermuda continues to accumulate under the present government and the burden that will create for future generations.

 

During the Covid lockdown, she volunteered in St David’s handing out meals and groceries. She experienced firsthand how vulnerable many people in Bermuda are and how dependent they are on the third sector to get by and she would like a more robust safety net for Bermudians who fall on hard times.

 

Elizabeth would like to see every child in Bermuda receive a world-class education. While a number of Bermudians are building their careers the business sector, she would like to see more graduates from the public education system achieving successful careers in international business.

 

At a neighborhood level, she would like Government to be more responsive to residents’ issues, whether noise and air pollution from the private jet facility at Southside, concerns about bio-hazardous waste in St. David’s or dust and noise from quarries at Coney Island. She believes strongly that people deserve accountability from Government and to have their concerns addressed.

 

Lastly, she believes strongly in the values of the OBA: diversity, integrity and fiscal responsibility for social fairness.
