And as you saw in the story, we did ask Councillor Willoughby whether he's positioning himself politically with this latest effort. As we told you a week ago, he's offering himself for UDP Mayor - which puts him in a contest with fellow councillor Dion Leslie. Today, we asked him if he intends to go all the way:...
Phillip Willoughby - UDP Mayoral Aspirant
"God willing and the people support that they see my name, they recognize my tenure at City Hall since 2006, the work we have put in collectively with the media. you see me administrate over projects that cost excess of 10 million US dollars, the flood mitigation project, you have seen us work with the downtown project, you have seen us work with the transfer station project, administration, running hurricane, taking care of the disaster is my forte Jules. Its every morning 5am, getting on the ground around the city, looking at what needs to be done and doing that daily and that I have done."
Jules Vasquez
"Seems like you are campaigning."
Phillip Willoughby - UDP Mayoral Aspirant
"No Jules, but I am telling you what you only see. I am telling you what you see, what the entire country sees when they see me working on a project or an initiative. So it should come automatically, but I will still humbly ask that if it is you want the best choice that is available to you then you go with Phillip Willoughby."
Jules Vasquez
"Is it your understanding that only you and Mr. Leslie are putting your names for mayor and the current 2-term Mayor Bradley will not be offering himself as Mayor in a UDP Convention?"
Phillip Willoughby - UDP Mayoral Aspirant
"I can't answer any of those questions and I have not seen Mr. Leslie's application."
"If he seeks to return to office then there are some considerations that needs to be had, but ultimately the people will decide that fate."
Jules Vasquez
"So you are going all the way because you are known for an "electus interruptus" that a few times you have placed your name in and you pull out."
Phillip Willoughby - UDP Mayoral Aspirant
"I hope that for those who I have been "electus interruptus" or whatever you are talking about, I hope that they see it as a reciprocal relationship that I supported and worked tirelessly for the Hon. Minister Tracey Taegar-Panton and I am not saying that it is mandatory. I am not saying she should, but I humbly ask for her support."
