Advertisement St. Croix - Raymond T. James Esq., Republican candidate for the Senate in the District of St. Croix is calling for a municipal government that will give St. Croix greater control over its economic and infrastructure priorities while preserving the unity of the Virgin Islands. “The Virgin Islands is one Territory, but our islands do not have identical economies, assets, infrastructure needs or opportunities,” Mr. James stated. “One Virgin Islands does not r

M.A. Dworkin St. Croix - The 2026 St. Croix Senate race will ask voters to make a practical choice: who can turn local concerns into laws, budgets, oversight, and results. The names on the ballot matter, but so do the records behind those names. This guide explains how to evaluate each candidate once the field is set, what qualifications deserve close attention, which issues are likely to define the race, and how endorsements and campaign tactics can signal a candidate’s bas
