Paco Deal

I am running because too many hardworking families in Central Grand Bahama feel overlooked while dealing with homes that need repair, unsafe roads, and limited opportunities for young people. As an attorney, father, son, brother, and friend, I have dedicated my life to standing up for people when they need a voice. My commitment is to listen first, act decisively, and work with residents to deliver practical solutions that improve daily life. I believe strong leadership means putting people before politics and ensuring that no community in our constituency is left behind.

Supporting home repair programmes, road paving and drainage improvements, and stronger public infrastructure that improves safety and quality of life for residents.

Expanding job placement partnerships, apprenticeship opportunities, and skills training programmes that help young people build successful careers.

Strengthening neighbourhood engagement initiatives, improving access to social services, and supporting programmes that assist the elderly and vulnerable residents.

Delivering measurable progress through action, accountability, and continued commitment to our community.

Providing pro bono legal guidance for residents facing issues related to land, housing, and employment.

Offering tutoring sessions and youth empowerment programmes focused on career readiness, life skills, and preparation for national examinations.

Organizing volunteer efforts to clean public spaces, improve neighbourhood conditions, and restore community pride.

Assisting residents with roof repairs and home improvements for properties still affected by damage following Hurricane Dorian.
