Why Seek Election
The reason I decided to seek election is to be of service to the community and country through representation in parliament. I have spent a career in service to the people of the Cayman Islands and I would like to continue being of service as a parliamentarian having gained a wealth of experience and knowledge throughout my career as a Civil Servant. I have unique skills and qualifications and many years of experience in the Civil Service that would be beneficial to the East End community and the country. This experience gives me an advantage in understanding how the civil service functions and its importance in assisting the elected government to achieve its goals.

East End

In addition to providing proven strong reliable leadership as the representative in Parliament for East End, I will strive to accomplish the following.

▪ Establish a District Council as an advisory body on matters affecting the district. This committee would assist with ensuring that the needs are identified, and strategies are developed to meet the needs through Parliament and the relevant Ministries and Departments.
▪ Develop a Community Development Plan to document the expressed needs and desires of the East End Community. The plan would cover 10 years and would be reviewed every two years to ensure that it remains relevant.
▪ Improve the educational opportunities for the children of East End. They deserve to have modern classrooms and facilities to support their education. Petition for the development of a new primary school at a location that would accommodate track and Field, Assembly Hall, state-of-the-art classroom, and other necessary facilities.

National Issues

▪ Promote the Development of a 10-Year National Strategic Plan. There have been significant changes in the Cayman Islands and the world since the last National Strategic Plan. The beliefs and perceptions of the people have evolved, and a responsible government should consider this when planning and charting the future of the Cayman Islands.
▪ Promote the development of a National Transportation Plan to address the issues affecting roads, and public transport.
▪ Support an increase to the minimum wage.
▪ Ensure the review and advancement of The Development Plan 1997 to better manage the country’s physical development.

Mr. McLean is married and has two sons.

I am running to continue to do the work that is needed for the enhancement of the people of the county. I believe my experience and ability makes me the most suitable person to do that.

The 3 top National Issues that I intend addressing if reelected are.
  •  Set high standards for our schools through the devolution of responsibility and accountability.
  •  Reform our pension system to ensure hardworking Caymanians can retire with dignity.
  •  Reform of our health insurance system to achieve universal health care to provide better treatment for the elderly when it is most needed.

The 3 top constituency issues that I intend if reelected are.
  •  Supporting the completion of the East-West Arterial to Frank Sound Road to alleviate the traffic woes that the people of East End continue to experience
  •  Will advocate for the re-deployment of a Social Worker to the constituency as was the case in the past.
  •  Fostering more sustainable development that brings opportunities to the people while being guided by Vision 2008 desires express by the people.
