By Elizabeth RobertsProgressive Labour Party: Rolfe CommissiongMr Commissiong, 55, describes himself as a tireless advocate on behalf of working people in Bermuda and a strong proponent of economic empowerment initiatives directed toward those who have been historically disadvantaged.He was educated at Mount Saint Agnes Academy, Warwick Secondary School and at Baruch College of the City University of New York.He served as a consultant to two of Bermuda’s Premiers and his most recent work was focused on implementing the recommendations found in the final report on young black males, which emerged from a study conducted by Professor Ronald Mincy of Columbia University on behalf of the Government.More recently, Mr Commissiong has worked on re-establishing the Bermuda Youth Council and on the Job Corps programme which was a Mincy recommendation.“The Job Corps programme along with Career Academies, another Mincy recommendation, will create a Bermuda Technical Institute for the 21st century,” said Mr Commissiong.“Both of these programmes will greatly enhance our workforce and youth development systems.”Mr Commissiong is married to Roxanne and has two children. He lives in Warwick.One Bermuda Alliance: Jeff BaronMr Baron, 36, is National Security Spokesperson for the One Bermuda Alliance, and a specialist in crime prevention, holding a Master’s Degree in Criminology.He spent his early childhood on Happy Valley Road in a house that his great-grandfather built.“This is my attachment to the area,” he noted. “When I was rolled out as a candidate you could see this house over my shoulder the whole time.”Mr Baron has served as a Sergeant in the Bermuda Police Service, directed security operations for Rosewood Tucker’s Point, and led a tactical response team on a United Nations peacekeeping mission in Kosovo the first and only Bermudian to be deployed as a Field Officer for the UN Department of Peacekeeping Operations.In January 2011, Mr Baron presented a strategic crime reduction paper to the Joint Parliamentary Select Committee on gang violence.Mr Baron recently graduated from the Senior Executives in National Security programme held at Harvard University’s John F Kennedy School of Government, and is currently working on a strategic adaptation of Bermuda’s National Security priorities for the One Bermuda Alliance.He is married, with a three-year-old son, and lives in Warwick.Independent: Tillman DarrellFormer United Bermuda Party member turned Independent candidate Tillman Darrell grew up in Middletown and now lives in Devonshire. He is married with a two-year-old son and a baby daughter due in January.He contested the seat for the UBP in 2007 but lost to the PLP’s Ashfield DeVent.“It’s difficult to determine how I’m going to do this time,” admitted Mr Darrell, a 45-year-old telecommunications consultant.“People told me they would vote for me and then I saw them at the polling station wearing PLP T-shirts. However, a message was sent to me loud and clear in the last election, which was that people could not see themselves supporting the United Bermuda Party. Now I am running as Tillman Darrell, a young man who grew up in the area and understands better than any candidate running what’s affecting us in the constituency.”Among the election pledges he is making are expanding affordable housing opportunities, getting assistance for low income families who struggle to afford groceries and transportation, and enlisting the help of companies to provide college scholarships for students from low or single-income families.Independent: John HoldippMr Holdipp was off Island and not available to be interviewed for this article.
