Myles
LaRoda
Candidate for Pinewood
I am Myles Kentworth LaRoda, Progressive Liberal Party candidate for Pinewood. I remain committed to delivering tangible progress that improves daily life for the people of this community.
Progress in Pinewood means completing the Pinewood Community Center, advancing the long-awaited drainage system to eliminate flooding, finishing road and park upgrades, and expanding employment and empowerment opportunities so families can thrive.
Born in New Providence and raised between Crooked Island and New Providence, my journey—from working in the hospitality and casino industry as a Table Games Pit Manager, to pursuing higher education in law and being called to the Bar of England and Wales and The Bahamas in 2006—has been defined by discipline, service, and perseverance. In September 2021, I was honored to be elected to represent Pinewood and to serve in Cabinet as Minister of Social Services, Information and Broadcasting.
My commitment to Pinewood is rooted in progress you can see and feel. I remain focused on completing key infrastructure projects, strengthening community spaces, and expanding opportunities so every resident has the chance to succeed.
