Jody Rochelle Carr (born July 3, 1975) is a Canadian politician. He is the current member of the Legislative Assembly of New Brunswick for the riding of Oromocto and served in the cabinet for part of 2006.

Political career

He first got involved with politics in 1993 just after graduating from Oromocto High School as class president by volunteering in the 1993 federal election.

While still in university, Carr ran in the riding of Oromocto-Gagetown for the first time in the 1995 provincial election and was the youngest ever Progressive Conservative candidate for MLA in New Brunswick at the age of 20. Carr received 28% of the vote which was the best showing of all 8 PC candidates in the greater Fredericton Region. Though he was defeated in that election, he stayed involved in his riding and his party and co-chaired the 1997 leadership convention which elected Bernard Lord. Carr kept active in his riding while finishing his university degree at the University of New Brunswick. After graduating with a Bachelor of Business Administration Carr worked under Lord in the office of the official opposition before being elected with nearly 64% of the vote in the 1999 election at age 23. He was re-elected in 2003 while winning every poll with 62% of the vote.

On February 14, 2006, Carr was named to the cabinet of Bernard Lord overseeing the new portfolio of Post-secondary Education and Training.

Carr was re-elected in the new riding of Oromocto in 2006 with 66% of the vote. However, the PC Party lost government and formed the opposition despite winning the popular vote.

On November 3, 2008, Carr’s twin brother, Jack, was elected to the Legislative Assembly of New Brunswick in a byelection in the electoral district of New Maryland-Sunbury West.

On September 27, 2010, Carr was re-elected with over 81% of the vote. His closest opponent garnered only 12% in the Oromocto riding.

Carr was reelected in the redistributed riding of Oromocto-Lincoln in the 2014 provincial election. His brother Jack did not stand for reelection, but was instead succeeded by their older brother Jeff.

Born May 27, 1975, in Yonkers, New York, Jadakiss is a member of the group The LOX and hip-hop collective Ruff Ryders. Jadakiss is one of the three owners of the imprint known as D-Block Records. In early 2007, he signed to Roc-a-Fella Records/Def Jam Records. Jadakiss has released three studio albums, the most recent of which was The Last Kiss (2009), followed up by releasing mixtapes and planning the release of his fourth studio album Top 5, Dead or Alive in 2014. By age 16, Jadakiss was a freestyle rapper. He and some of his friends competed in the Jack the Rapper Competition in Florida, where Jadakiss was noticed for his battle rap ability. He met Dee and Wah of the Ruff Ryders (then a management company), and began hanging out and battling outside the Ruff Ryders’ studio where artists such as DMX made their first hits. In 2004, Jadakiss and Fat Joe were featured in Ja Rule’s New York single, where Jadakiss took obvious shots at 50 Cent. In turn, 50 Cent recorded a song entitled Piggy Bank in which he dissed Fat Joe, Nas and Jadakiss. This provoked Jadakiss to release Checkmate, Problem Child, Shots Fired and I’m Sorry Ms. Jackson. 50 Cent, along with his G-Unit crew, responded with songs such as I Run New York, Window Shopper and Death Wish by Lloyd Banks. Jadakiss challenged 50 Cent to an onstage battle in Madison Square Garden for a million dollars, but 50 Cent declined. The feud was later resolved and the respective parties performed together at 50 Cent’s ThisIs50 Festival on October 3, 2009.
