The only ones I have seen posters for are Donastorg and Christiansen (and their respective running mates.)
Who else is running and with whom?
Heard Malloy wants the Delegate's office. True??

Former judge Soraya Diase-Coffelt.
Moleto Smith
Gregory Francis

I think I saw one more on a poster, but it doesn't come up in Google.

Who's the Harvard man? Ken Mapp? lol

The delegate race will be between Stacey Plaskett and Malone. I see Malone as the favorite but I think Plaskett will make it a close race.

Why Alana? Any would anyone be better? Is It because he opposed your beloved de Jongh? What do I need to know about him?
And as a former Lt Gov, he does have exécutive experience, to answer someone else's question.

Pickering had à position at Cruzan. Donna C was a Commisioner of Health. Donastorg was a legislator but has no administrative experience per se. The others are unknown to me.

Because Mapp was Lt. Gov for Turnbull whose administration was rife with corruption. Why the man (either of them) isn't in jail quite eludes me. DeJongh was the lesser of evils at the time, if you can believe that! Plus Mapp as I remember had some racist remarks and not my cup of tea. We can't vote for who is best because there is no best......just who we may believe will do the least damage. Unfortunately.

Please spare me the screeching, ranting Norma Pickering for any Gov. position. What a complete, uneducated, moronic B%%%h!
Just as bad if not worse than Chucky. Define Moral Turpitude here so Chucky can read it.

Lol.....omg Alana, if you're going to slander someone at least be a little factual....lol.

I'll give Mapp credit for when he was PFA director in the Turnbull administration, he got a lot of projects completed that were very beneficial to St. Croix.

I apologize for my mistake but after living here so long and seeing the elected officials come and go and come back again and the never-ending lack of integrity and the amount of money that comes into our islands that is constantly wasted, mismanaged, misappropriated and stolen, I am quite disgusted with the lack of ethics and fiscal responsibility that "they" have have displayed.

Our islands could be a Paradise if our elected leaders actually did their jobs, were intelligent, financially, morally and ethically responsible. The streets could have been paved with gold 10 times over for the waste that has been displayed and perpetrated
by all over the last couple of decades. We have the same issues, year after year for decades.
It is driving people away. It is making it day by day, more difficult for those who wish to stay by all the STUPID decisions and gross incompetence if not the out right theft and bribery that goes on here.
We all live within a budget.

Not so the VI Government with the completely wasteful ways all money, whether it be Federal or Local , is spent.

Uploaded on Nov 9, 2011

As a photographer and resident of St. Thomas USVI, on Nov 9, 2011 I was participating in the WAPA protest on St. Thomas. I was shooting some photos of the peaceful protest when a woman walked up and started verbally attacking the protestors. I switched to shooting video as I recognized that it was former VI Senator Norma Pickard-Samuel (yes Norma I got it right). Unfortunately I missed her opening rant of racist remarks here aimed at the white protestors but caught her at her best. Norma do you kiss your Grandmother with that mouth. Norma you and your ignorance are why things are the way they are in Virgin Islands. Stop being part of the problem Norma because you're just an embarrassment to the people of the Virgin Islands.

Yeah..........Norma! We really need more assholes like you in our legislature!*-)

When Kenneth Mapp was removed from the 18th Legislature for having established a domicile in Georgia and running for Senator even though he was ineligible to be elected, with the expense and procedural problems he caused , made me never cast a vote for him in any position ever again.

Currently you have announced candidates Soraya Diase Coffelt, Donna Christian Christensen, Greg Francis, Kenneth Mapp, Foncie Donastorg, Marvin Pickering, Moleto Smith, also coming up should be Luz James. I am sure there is more to come. Really enough to clog the airwaves.

Personally, I would like to see Ronnie L on the list. At least you have run a successful business. 😎
