you guys have the wrong person

Regardless which District she represents, we are PROUD of her.

 I said I was searching for the senator and found that hot chick In Norway and wondered if she is of us.

The problem with Guyanese is that they support their own people away from Guyana and not the issues what the candidate represents. Most Guyanese lawyers and politicians has put us to shame from stealing, bribery, corruption and fraud. They are all serving their constituents in jail. Is it because they are democrats, or you guys are also corrupted like them? 

Name them.

Mitwah - the names are Senator John Sampson and Attorney Albert Baldeo.  Both are in jail.  In fact, Roxanne Persaud replaced John Sampson.  Thank you Red Wine for pointing that out.

It is called the great American Justice!!!

GUYANA CHRONICLE, NOV 5 --- GUYANA-born legislator Roxanne Jacqueline Persaud, was elected to the New York Senate on November 3, 2015 after defeating her two challengers in the elections for the 19th Senatorial District. Back in November 2014, she became the first female, first black, first Guyanese to hold the position of assembly member for the 59th Assembly District in Brooklyn, New York.
Persaud, 49, polled 6,980 votes, or 88 per cent of the votes cast, while Jeffrey Ferretti, the Republic Party challenger, received 702 votes, or nine per cent; and Conservative Party opponent Elias Weir got 245 votes, or three per cent. “Great! Great!” she told the Caribbean Media Corporation (CMC) late Tuesday night. “Fabulous! I’m happy all the waiting is over, so I can get to do the work,” added Persaud amid victory celebrations at the Thomas Jefferson Democratic Club in Canarsie that had endorsed her.
“It shows hard work pays off,” said Persaud, who had migrated from Guyana with her parents and siblings, when she was 19 years old. She said she had no qualms running for Sampson’s old seat. Guyanese-American New York State Senator John L. Sampson was convicted in July of lying to the Federal Bureau of Investigations (FBI) in a U.S. federal corruption case.
“I’m not happy with what’s happening, but you have to do what you have to do. When an opportunity presents itself, you follow, and you do it. I know I can continue my work. As senator, I will work to bring all the communities together and to make sure they have equal representation.” She said her dedication to serving her community motivated her to serve in various capacities. She was President of the 69th Precinct Community Council in Canarsie, member of Community Board 18 and Commissioner on the New York City Districting Commission. In addition, Persaud said she is a graduate of the New York Police Department (NYPD) Citizens Police Academy, as well as the New York City Office of Emergency Management-Community Emergency Response Team. She is a “longtime advocate for her community and an avid volunteer.” (CMC)

[GILBAKKA'S COMMENT: It's nice to see that Roxanne Persaud's achievement has gotten press coverage in her native land.]

Given the composition of this district, the vast majority of votes which Roxanne recieved did not come from Guyanese.  Try the whole gamut of Caribbean people, with the largest bloc being Haitians.  Some black Americans as well, and some whites thrown in too.

So she had to EARN that vote!

Congrats to Roxanne.

Why New Yorkers are ashamed to support a Republican? And speaking of party affiliation, some Canadians also support Democrats in the US of A. Not calling names. 

The funny farm circus.  Why not? Watching grown adults acting like kids is kind of fun.

Bibi

You fish up Mitwah.

Congrats to senator Roxanne. 

Where the Persaud came from? Is she the daughter of Kenneth Persaud? 

 Door knob failed to mentioned that Albert Baldeo is Jagdeo's friend.  

Baldeo did not steal from anyone. His crime is not following campaign laws. He used his own money to finance his campaign through fraudulent donations. He went to jail for being lazy to do campaign fundraising and for being stupid.

BTW Most Guyanese lawyers are not in jail and few are like Baldeo.
