OBA Announce Dion Smith As C27 Candidate

The One Bermuda Alliance announced that Dion Smith will be their candidate for Constituency 27 Warwick North Central.

A spokesperson said, “A father of two, Dion is a technology expert and the Managing Director of Smith Technologies Ltd. A successful entrepreneur, Dion is a past board director of the Adult Education School and a former Bermuda Telecommunications Commissioner and the Regulatory Authority of Bermuda. Professionally, he embraces a ‘do it right the first time’ philosophy when it pertains to work and customer service.”

“It is the core of my business success,” he shares.

Mr. Smith said he is passionate about strengthening the economy, “Government needs to focus on our economy, but it should be done by instituting a local economy—an economy that does not fall under the same umbrella as IB.”

Speaking on his vision for Warwick North Central, he said, “Roadside and hedges cleaned, either by owners individually or in partnership with the Government. Our roads that are stressed need street lighting and road reflectors. Sometimes called raised pavement markers, the reflectors are designed to help control traffic while encouraging safer driving conditions. Constructed from either durable plastic or ceramic, these road reflectors are especially important for making traffic lanes more visible at night. Another aspiration is to have underground electricity cables instead off overhead poles and exposed electrical wires.”

The OBA spokesperson said, “On a national level, Dion believes in order for the country to regain the prosperity it once enjoyed, there needs to be collective buy-in.

“Bermuda needs to concentrate on a National strategic plan that the majority agree with, creating transparency and a vison for the country. This would include referendums, so everyone is included in decision making,” Mr Smith said.

Constituency 27 Warwick North Central is currently held by PLP MP Minister Lt/Col David Burch.
