‘I never saw myself running for election’ - Hon Maduro-Caines
Ms Maduro-Caines, during an interview on the ‘NDP Radio’ programme, last evening Monday, January 21, 2019, at the studios of ZBVI 780am, chronicled her journey through politics under NDP 1.
The Calling
“I remember Hon Vanterpool and my friend Juggy [Elivis J. Harrigan] came up to the house one night and said they were forming this party and they needed me to be a part of it,” she reflected and told the listening audience.
“I like to be active but I never saw myself running for election, they were at a crossroad where they couldn’t find anyone to run in the district at that particular time… and I said I would do it,” Ms Maduro-Caines revealed.
According to her, the night she ultimately decided to confirm her participation after a series of meetings, “you could have heard a pin drop.”
She said many in the Dr. Smith led NDP 1 believed she would not be able to represent the district and even said she would be easily beaten in the polls.
Prayers
“I could not see the party not having someone in the district to run, and my father always used to ponder… he was really into politics, Austin Maduro for those of you who don’t know… and he always said no district should be left unopposed,” she said even as the NDP 1 is without a full slate to contest the 2019 elections.
“I and went home that night and I got on my knees and I said, lord, what did I just do”, Hon Maduro-Caines revealed. She said despite that, she had done her best over the years to help youths and represent the district in whatever way she can.
“And they know they can come 24/7 and find food,” Hon Maduro-Caines uttered in acknowledging that she was a good cook.

Debates is for people who don't know what to do or where to go and is only using debate for sense of direction. If he has no direction he needs to go sit down.
I have only seen her when she ran for election 4 years ago, and again now that she is running for election again.
