- Energy Sovereignty: Modernize the grid and transition to renewable, resilient power sources.
- Infrastructure Development: Invest in roads, ports, broadband access, and affordable housing.
- Disaster Preparedness: Make the Virgin Islands a national model for climate resilience.
Policy Statement:
The Virgin Islands are on the front lines of the climate crisis. Hurricanes, rising sea levels, and extreme weather threaten our very existence, and our fragile infrastructure is not prepared. Our energy grid is a prime example; it is a relic of the past, dependent on imported fossil fuels, and is easily crippled by storms, leaving our communities in darkness. Our roads, ports, and housing are equally vulnerable, and our lack of reliable broadband access creates a digital divide that hinders economic growth and education.
My platform is a commitment to building a more resilient Virgin Islands. We will secure federal funding to modernize our energy grid and transition to decentralized, renewable power sources that can withstand future storms. We will also demand a massive investment in our foundational infrastructure, including roads, ports, and affordable housing. Finally, we will make the Virgin Islands a national model for climate resilience, demonstrating how proactive, forward-thinking policies can protect our people and our environment.
