Two Jamaica-born women are seeking to make history in this year’s US off-year elections by winning the mayoralties of East Orange, New Jersey and Spring Valley in Rockland county, New York.
Narda Morant, an educator and businesswoman, is seeking to become mayor of East Orange, while Darnett Davis, a childcare centre owner, is campaigning to become mayor of Spring Valley.
If Morant won in New Jersey, she would become the first Jamaican and woman to be that city’s mayor.
Davis would be the first woman of colour and the second person of Jamaican heritage to become mayor of the village of Spring Valley. Jamaica-born Allan Thompson made history when he won to serve two terms as mayor of Spring Valley in the 1990s.
Morant was born in Clarendon, Jamaica, but grew up in Porus, Manchester. She attended Porus Infant and Primary Schools before going on to Manchester High School.
