Quinn-Williams says her political career is not about getting rich, so she will continue to serve her people, party and country

Although she has pulled out of the United Progressive Party (UPP)
leadership race, Pearl Quinn-Williams, caretaker for the St. John’s
Rural North constituency, says she is not daunted. She entered
politics to serve, she says, and that is still her main focus.
 
Quinn-Williams chose to withdraw from the leadership contest
because she did not receive the full backing of the Rural North
branch.
 
However, she says she will continue to serve the constituency and
the country, because she is not in politics to get rich. She notes that
she was making a good salary in banking, but decided to change to a
career in politics after being asked to serve her country in this way.

According to the UPP caretaker, her interest in leading the Party was
prompted by her passion to serve the people of Antigua and
Barbuda.

But she is ready and willing to work with whoever wins the
leadership race, she says, for the betterment of the country and its
people and for the Party and its supporters.

Meanwhile, Quinn-Williams is appealing to those vying for various
positions on the Party’s Executive to allow the democratic process to

play out, and not to do or say anything that will fracture the public’s
confidence in the Party.
 
She urges the Convention delegates to choose who they believe is
the right person to take the Party to victory at the next General
Election.

That was Pearl Quinn-Williams, UPP caretaker for St. John’s
Rural North.
