In the next five general elections, the people time and time again stood behind Dr. Harris and handsomely re-elected him as their Parliamentary Representative.
 
Twenty-five (25) years after that transformative elections in 1993, a group of constituents came together to organize a number of celebratory events in recognition of the stellar performance and excellent representation by Dr. the Honourable Timothy Harris that has not only transformed the lives of the people of Constituency #7, but also the lives of Kittitians and Nevisians everywhere.
 
In recognition of this significant milestone, the Planning Committee for Constituency #7 – Celebrating 25 Years of Service by Dr. the Honourable Timothy Harris has put together a calendar of wholesome, people-centred community events and activities.

The full calendar was revealed during a live press conference on Thursday (November 8) at the Edgar T. Morris Primary School in Tabernacle.
 
While there, member of the Planning Committee for the activities celebrating Prime Minister Dr. the Honourable Timothy Harris’ 25 years of service, Mrs. Elreter Simpson-Browne said that this milestone is one that is worthy of celebration, particularly given the tremendous impact Dr. Harris has had on the lives of the people whom he serves.

This is our way of saying thank you to him, this is our way of saying we appreciate him because for 25 years he has really given of his time to really transform the constituency.”
 
Mrs. Simpson Browne added that whether it is in the area of education, employment, or healthcare assistance, “Dr. Timothy Harris has touched the life of every family throughout this constituency for the past 25 years in some way, shape or form.
