Ra­dio host Ja­son “JW” Williams is hop­ing to put his best foot for­ward as the PNM (Peo­ple’s Na­tion­al Move­ment) can­di­date for Barataria/San Juan.

Yes­ter­day, a me­dia re­port said that JW was giv­en the nod of the PNM’s screen­ing com­mit­tee to con­test the hot mar­gin­al seat.

Speak­ing with Guardian Me­dia the 41-year-old said he has not yet been of­fi­cial­ly se­lect­ed, but said he is hope­ful and would be putting his best foot for­ward.

He said “as much as I am good at talk­ing, I want to lis­ten so I can un­der­stand what the con­cerns of the peo­ple are to ad­dress those con­cerns.”

Williams was screened on Sat­ur­day and said the process went “well.”

Williams along with An­cil “Blaze” Isaac and Myles Grant are cur­rent­ly the hosts of the Grand Slam Morn­ing Show on SLAM 100.5.

He al­so works as a mo­ti­va­tion­al speak­er and as mas­ter of cer­e­monies for many of­fi­cial func­tions.

Dr Fuad Khan is cur­rent­ly the Mem­ber of Par­lia­ment in that con­stituen­cy.
