A People’s Majority’s Policy Statement for the 27th Legislature
 

It is indeed a blessed day in the U.S. Virgin Islands, when we can assemble members of the Democratic Party, the Independent Citizens Movement Party, and No Party Senators to formulate A PEOPLE’S MAJORITY.  A Majority Caucus that will work in unison to improve the quality of life of all the people of the Virgin Islands. Despite our different experiences and background, we have found strength in our diversity and are prepared to establish the strong bonds that represent and exemplify the best traditions of our unique and diverse society.

Indeed, the very composition of A PEOPLE’S MAJORITY places the needs of the entire Territory above partisan philosophies, geography, ideology, ethnicity, and insular origin. In the words of Martin Luther King, “We are caught in an inescapable network of mutuality, tied in a single garment of destiny, whatever affects one directly, affects all indirectly.” We are unconditionally committed to responsive, accountable, transparent and principled leadership. We will work diligently towards our goals of Social Enhancement, Economic Enrichment and Political Empowerment for the People of the Virgin Islands.    

As members of A PEOPLE’S MAJORITY and as citizens seeking to promote the just interests of the People of the Virgin Islands, we will remain focused and determined to exhibit the fortitude necessary to propose and pass meaningful legislation, advance prudent public policies, and maximize fiscal support from Federal and Territorial programs that benefit our society.
With some forty years of Legislative experience and the fresh ideas and diligence of our Freshman members, A PEOPLE’S MAJORITY is armed and prepared to battle those issues and problems that have plagued our community for far too long. It is evidently clear that the elections of November 7th has mandated a change in the manner and conduct of the business of the people and we are prepared to improve and enhanced the public image of our institution, while assuring that priority is given to the economy and quality of life on the island of St. Croix.

Through our Committees on Rules and the Judiciary; Finance; Health, Hospitals and Human Services; Education, Culture and Youth; Labor; Housing, Sports and Veterans Affairs; Government Operations and Consumer Protection; Public Safety, Homeland Security and Justice; Economic Development and Agriculture; and Planning and Environmental Protection we pledge to work tirelessly on behalf of all the People of the Virgin Islands. We remain United in Purpose, Commitment and Vision. A people’s Majorit
