Social and Political Analyst | Leading with vision for Jamaica’s future 🇯🇲

[Dr. Kym @KymJohnson]

I understand the hesitation, and honestly, without full context of his professional background, a narrow conclusion is easy to reach. I might have drawn the same one. But having engaged with Major General Antony Anderson directly, just 2 days ago, I can tell you with full confidence, his qualifications go far beyond a search result. His strategic acumen, leadership depth, and command of complex systems span decades and dimensions that a surface-level assessment simply cannot capture. What you’re questioning, I’ve witnessed firsthand. He is more than qualified.

[Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Foreign Trade, GOJ @mfaftja]

The staff of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Foreign Trade joins the Minister of Foreign Affairs and Foreign Trade, Senator the Honourable Kamina Johnson Smith, and Minister of State, Alando Terrelonge in extending condolences to the family, friends and loved ones of former Minister of State, Leslie Campbell.

In expressing condolences, Minister @kaminajsmith shared:

“It is with deep sadness that I learned of Leslie's passing after valiantly fighting illness for some time. We not only worked together in the political sphere, but during his time in the Senate and his service as Minister of State in this Ministry, he was a steady, reliable, knowledgeable and principled colleague, committed to the work and to the people of Jamaica. He believed in service and his country. His contribution to this Ministry and to national life will certainly endure.

Minister Terrelonge and I extend sincere condolences to his family and friends who will miss him greatly. May his soul rest in peace.”

The Ministry stands with his family at this time and extends its prayers for comfort and strength.

Expressing congratulations to @shanaa_lee on her historic achievement in becoming the first woman President of G2K and gratitude to my supports who stood by me on this journey. I remain committed to our shared mission. The work continues!

[Newton Harris @NHarrisJM]

To lead is to serve. I’ve learned from one of the best in the business, Sen. the Hon. Kamina Johnson Smith.

Her endorsement is a reminder of the high standard we must maintain for G2K.

Senator Sherene Golding Campbell knows what it takes to build and lead. She’s standing with me because she believes in a re-imagined future for G2K. A G2K rooted in consistency and visionary leadership.

Let’s take the right track together.

@GoldingCampbell

[Newton Harris @NHarrisJM]

Councillor Gary Gordon (Mona) knows what it takes to connect with people from all walks of life. He’s standing with me because he’s seen the work, professionalism, and the heart behind my candidacy. I’m not just a candidate; I’m a leader who speaks the language of every Jamaican.

[Newton Harris @NHarrisJM]

@ibkontehja Thanks 🙏🏽 Appreciate it.

[Newton Harris @NHarrisJM]

From the early days in St. Ann to serving my community there and beyond, my journey has always been about one thing: Service.

Grounded in history, guided by humility, and driven by a vision for a stronger G2K.

[Newton Harris @NHarrisJM]

Leadership recognizes leadership. I’m grateful for the strong endorsement of Senator Dr. Elon Thompson of my candidacy for G2K President.

A character rooted in honesty and integrity. A vision backed by action professionalism.

Now people have all eyes turned to Minister Fayval Williams for the final round of the Debate. What are you feeling? The vibes or the vault? And what else do you want to hear from the Minister in her closing presentation? Let’s talk in the replies! 👇 #Budget2026

[Newton Harris @NHarrisJM]

Grateful to join @CVMTV’s Lead Story to recap a busy week for #Budget2026. From the opposition's remarks and "Build Back Betta" to the PM’s Receipts, the stage is set for Minister Fayval Williams to close. Before she hits the floor, let’s break down the gaps. 🧵 #Budget2026

[Newton Harris @NHarrisJM]

Julian’s plan pushes our debt-to-GDP to 66.14%. Big red flag. The PM is protecting our stable credit ratings because they are our "oil and our gold." They keep interest rates low for the average man. PROTECT THE BAG! 💰 #Budget2026

[Newton Harris @NHarrisJM]

Mark called the $18B tax package a toxic cocktail. Julian said let’s borrow instead. Borrowing is just a tax on your future. PM and Minister Williams say lets balance the books now so we don't dump a debt mountain on our kids later. Mek sense to me #Budget2026

[Newton Harris @NHarrisJM]

Urgent reconstruction and red tape don’t mix. The new FAST Jamaica framework is how we skip that. that means fast-tracked projects for energy, digital, and water. From redeveloping Lucea Harbour to the North-South highway extension.

[Newton Harris @NHarrisJM]

Mark wants to "ring-fence" the NHT, but the PM is actually making it work for the people. Starting July 1, nurses, teachers, and firefighters get special reduced interest rates. That’s actually better living for our heroes. #NHT #Budget2026

[Newton Harris @NHarrisJM]

A big takeaway from PM’s presentation is HEART/NSTA is now FREE from Level 1 to Level 5. That’s a Bachelor’s degree equivalent for those who need it most. Let me say it again FOR FREE. While Mark talks about "better," the Govt is actually upskilling the nation for the new economy

[Newton Harris @NHarrisJM]

Mark wants to "assemble a team" for a legal brief to the ICJ for climate damage. Big move, but court cases move slower than the drive-thru at KFC. PM is already moving with NaRRA. That’s a proper authority to rebuild our towns like Black River Today not tomorrow. #Budget2026

[Newton Harris @NHarrisJM]

Mark says the economy is "crawling at around 0.8%". But the hole in that point is we’ve built up our Net International Reserves to $6.8B . It’s our national emergency stash. The PM made it clear: you can’t have resilience without resources. And that NIR is our shield. #Budget2026

G2K is at a crossroads. It needs performance, not promises.

I am stepping forward as a candidate for your next President, offering a renewed vision. One defined by opportunity, action and results.
