New York State Assemblymember, Nick Perry, heads to Jamaica. But this time around, he will be representing the United States government as the U.S. ambassador for Jamaica. This comes after getting strong support and push from U.S. Senate Majority Leader, Chuck Schumer. The Assemblymember was then confirmed by the U.S. Senator last Thursday in Washington DC.
Public service is nothing new to the State Assemblymember who is a US Army veteran; one who received several medals and was honorably discharged after two years of active duty. In addition, the assemblymember also served on the Brooklyn Borough Board for five terms. In 1992, he was elected to the 58th New York State Assembly District in Brooklyn. In this position, Assemblymember Perry represented the communities of Brownsville, Canarsie and East Flatbush for 30 years, communities with an overwhelming population of Caribbean-American residents.
