Reform Jersey have put forward Lyndsay Feltham, who was born in Jersey and has spent over 12 years working as a public servant, both in Jersey and for the State Government in Western Australia.
John Baker, founder and chairman of the Jersey Action Group, has also announced he is to stand.
Mrs Feltham, the daughter of former St Helier 3/4 Deputy Shirley Baudains, said: ‘I am standing in this election because I want to support the delivery of positive change for the benefit of the Island. I am standing as a Reform Jersey candidate as I believe that we can deliver more together, working as a team.
‘I firmly believe that it is the duty of the government to maximise the value of the services that it provides to the people.
‘For me, this does not mean austerity-driven budget cuts and a continuous drive for savings. It means keeping people at the heart of decision making, encouraging public-sector innovation, and involving the community to co-design the services best suited to meet their needs.’
Mr Baker, meanwhile, has worked in an honorary capacity for St Helier for about 25 years, including as chairman of the Parish Rates Assessment Committee, as well as on the Roads Committee and the Parish Accounts Committee.
He is also the founder of environmental charity, Earth Project Jersey.
Mr Baker said that a better and cheaper site than Gloucester Street must be found for the new hospital.
Speaking on environmental issues, he said: ‘I am very keen on protecting our natural and built environment. As founder of the Earth Project Jersey I want to push the idea of a greener St Helier – more open spaces, more trees and cleaner air and water.
Businessman Gordon Troy, Jersey Beach Festival founder Andrea Talibard-Mallet, St Helier procureur du bien public Geraint Jennings, disability campaigner Anthony Lewis and management consultant Inna Gardiner are also standing in the election, which will take place on 27 February.
