In a statement, Deputy Mézec, chairman of Reform Jersey, said: ‘With the backing of Reform Jersey members, I have chosen to stand for election as Senator because I want to seek a mandate from across the whole Island for our manifesto.
‘Over the last ten years, the States has lost sight of what should be its number one aim – improving life for ordinary Islanders.
‘I believe that we must spend the next few years deliberately reversing the trends which have seen a drastic increase in poverty and a frozen standard of living. This will be the main focus of my campaign.
‘I am determined that the next government must be more politically inclusive and improve the way it deals with the issues facing Jersey, rather than replicate the unedifying debates we have seen on the new hospital and population control.’
