Did not return for the 2026–2030 Assembly · role shown is from 2022–2026 Assembly
Michael Keith Jackson served as Connétable for St Brelade in the 2022–2026 Assembly, having previously held the same office between 2005 and 2011 and served as Minister for Transport and Technical Services for three years during an earlier period in the States Assembly. He did not continue into the 2026–2030 Assembly.
Standing for election in 2022, Jackson campaigned on maintaining quality of life in St Brelade No 1 district and bringing practical, locally rooted experience to bear in the Assembly. His specific pledges included consolidating parking management at St Aubin under a single authority, inviting residents' input on improving road and path safety for walkers and cyclists, and actively supporting local clubs, societies and Honorary Police recruitment. On island-wide matters he committed to reducing States expenditure and opposing tax increases, resisting development on greenfield land, opposing complex GST exemption schemes, and safeguarding pension values. He also pledged greater support for school leavers pursuing further education or vocational training, and called for a revision of licensing laws.
Jackson's background is in the marine industry; he is proprietor of a boatyard and chandlery business in St Aubin, and described himself as a lifelong resident of St Brelade.

Manifesto
Promises, and how they voted — 2022–2026 Assembly
Grouped by policy area. Each promise carries the recorded States Assembly votes that test it, and whether this member voted to deliver — open any vote for the motion and the reasoning. A vote counts against a promise only where it plainly contradicts it; where a member voted against one particular measure but the breach is arguable, the vote is shown and set aside rather than counted. Where no recorded vote bears on a promise, an AI delivery verdict assesses progress against the public record.

Considered and set aside: voting this way is not clearly a breach of the promise.

Considered and set aside: voting this way is not clearly a breach of the promise.

The promise to support "fit-for-purpose healthcare" is a general directional commitment, and voting against one specific programme or procedural motion about new healthcare facilities does not plainly contradict it, as the member could oppose this particular programme while still pursuing the broader goal through different means or on grounds of cost, design, or timing.

Considered and set aside: voting this way is not clearly a breach of the promise.

Transferring departmental underspend to the Stabilisation Fund supports prudent financial management and reducing unnecessary expenditure.
Considered and set aside: voting this way is not clearly a breach of the promise. Voting against transferring a departmental underspend into the Stabilisation Fund concerns a specific treasury management mechanism rather than directly increasing taxation or increasing expenditure, so rejecting this motion does not plainly contradict a promise to reduce spending and oppose tax rises.

Considered and set aside: this motion does not bear on the promise. The motion concerns supplementary planning guidance on parking strategy, which is not the same subject as inviting public suggestions to improve road and path safety for walkers and cyclists.

No evidence was found in parish assembly minutes (stbrelade.je), States Assembly records (statesassembly.je), gov.je, the Jersey Evening Post, or Bailiwick Express that Connétable Jackson took any formal steps during the 2022–2026 term to consolidate St. Aubin parking management under a single authority. Notably, an almost identical promise ('alter the convoluted parking management at St. Aubin by bringing it under one authority') appears to originate from Jackson's 2014 Deputy candidacy (Tony's Musings blog, September 2014), suggesting the pledge had already been carried forward undelivered across multiple election cycles. Jackson's publicly available 2022 and 2026 vote.je manifesto pages make no specific mention of parking consolidation, and no policy announcement, ministerial statement, or parish assembly resolution on the subject was surfaced.

Waste charges amendment in the Government Plan bears on investment in waste strategies.
Considered and set aside: voting this way is not clearly a breach of the promise. The promise is a general directional commitment to support investment in waste strategies, while the motion concerns a specific amendment about waste charges within the Government Plan, and voting against one particular funding or charging mechanism does not clearly contradict a broader commitment to supporting environmental standards investment.

No recorded vote - delivery verdictUnverifiablelow confidence
Web searches found no independent reporting or official States records documenting specific actions taken by Connétable Jackson between 2022 and 2026 to actively support clubs and societies in St Brelade No. 1 district. The promise appears to have originated in a 2014 Deputy candidacy for St Brelade No. 1, and his 2022 Connétable manifesto extended it to the whole parish without the district-specific focus. The parish website maintains a general clubs and associations listing, and his 2026 re-election campaign repeated a similar commitment, but no verifiable evidence of distinct delivery under this specific 2022-term promise was found.

No recorded vote - delivery verdictPartialmedium confidence
During the 2022-2026 Assembly term, Connétable Jackson took concrete steps to support Honorary Police recruitment: as Chairman of the Comité des Connétables, he publicly backed and helped initiate an island-wide recruitment campaign in March 2023, citing the need for new recruits and discussing structural reforms to make the role more flexible (Bailiwick Express, March 2023). Parish Assembly minutes from June 2023 also show him presiding over the election of new Honorary Police officers in St Brelade. However, St Brelade's force remained at only 62% of its full complement of 32 (20 officers in post) as of the 2023 Bailiwick Express report, indicating that recruitment efforts had not yet closed the gap to full strength by mid-term. The promise was broadly acted upon through visible advocacy and a formal recruitment campaign, but measurable outcomes for St Brelade specifically remained incomplete within the term.

Parish And Local Government
No recorded vote - delivery verdictPartialmedium confidence
Jackson served as Connétable of St Brelade throughout the 2022–2026 term and demonstrably engaged with parishioners through regular Parish Assemblies (minutes published June 2023 through at least September 2025), responded to parishioner concerns about Parish Hall costs at a May 2024 assembly attended by around 40 residents, and pursued an Island Plan amendment protecting St Brelade's Bay from overdevelopment. He also personally supported local businesses such as the HSBC Les Quennevais branch (February 2026) and ran a boatyard and post office in St Aubin throughout the term. However, no independently reported evidence of a specific or structured consultation programme directed at residents and businesses of St Brelade's Bay and St Aubin specifically was found; engagement appears to have occurred through general parish machinery rather than any dedicated outreach to those named communities. Jackson lost his seat at the June 2026 election.

Reinstatement of Senators second amendment paragraph (a) is a States reform debate the member opposed.
Considered and set aside: voting this way is not clearly a breach of the promise. The promise opposes lengthy debates on reform generally, but voting on a specific amendment about reinstating Senators is one procedural step in a debate, not equivalent to supporting a lengthy debate itself; a member could support this amendment while still opposing prolonged reform debates overall.

The main Reinstatement of Senators proposition is a States reform debate the member promised to oppose.
Considered and set aside: voting this way is not clearly a breach of the promise. The promise opposes lengthy debates on reform generally, but voting in favour of a motion to reinstate Senators is not the same as supporting a long debate — the member could favour the substantive constitutional change while still opposing protracted procedural debate, meaning the vote cannot be straightforwardly equated with a breach of the promise without inferring that the motion itself caused or constituted the kind of lengthy debate the member opposed.

Re-instatement of Senators is the type of States reform debate the member promised to oppose as preventing meaningful work.
Considered and set aside: voting this way is not clearly a breach of the promise. The promise opposes lengthy reform debates in general, but voting in favour of the Senators reinstatement proposition could reflect support for the substantive policy rather than an endorsement of prolonged debate, so calling the vote a breach requires an inference about whether the debate was "lengthy" and whether this particular vote was cast to prolong debate rather than to advance a policy position.

Jackson served the full 2022–2026 term as Connétable of St Brelade, holding the role of Chair of the Comité des Connétables from January 2023 and Assistant Minister for Environment from February 2024, and his own 2026 campaign materials stated he had focused on 'maintaining the parish estate and representing the views of parishioners.' However, the promise is broadly aspirational and no independent reporting specifically assessed progress on quality of life in St Brelade No 1 district; Jackson was defeated in the June 2026 election by Steve Pallett (2,093 votes to 1,339), ending his tenure without a further mandate to continue the work.
