Republican Party in the Virgin Islands Chairman Gordon Ackley issued the following statement in response to Governor Albert Bryan Jr.’s State of the Territory address:

“What we have heard and continue to hear from Government House is no different than what the ruling party has said for years. Continuing with one-party rule has not and will not fix the serious issues hurting families, our children and grandchildren, and job creators across all three islands. The ruling party, and only the ruling party, is to blame for unsafe water, unaffordable and unreliable electricity, bad roads, closed schools and libraries, and inflation that makes living in our islands increasingly unaffordable.

“Republicans will offer Virgin Islanders a real alternative with viable candidates for senator in each district this November.”
