Mr Chad C. George announced his decision today, February 17, 2023, and noted that he would be an Independent Candidate.

‘The man you know’
“Being a man of the people for the people, Chad has assisted and helped various individuals in the District wherever he could, no matter their age. He has now decided to make this a full-time commitment and dedicate himself to public service, to further develop the First District. He knows that it will not be easy, but together the First District can and will be the what we all know it can be - “Great”.
“With a mindset of we are only as strong as our weakest link, every village and person in the first district will be attended to equally to ensure the strength of the entire District,” the release stated.
It is unclear who else will be contesting the First District, although Shaina M. Smith of Progressive Virgin Islands Movement (PVIM) has done so in the pass without success.
The Virgin Islands Party (VIP) is yet to ratify the candidate for the First District, which has been without an elected Representative following the arrest and subsequent retirement of former Premier Andrew A. Fahie.
“This is our District and Our Future, so come Election Day 2023, Vote Chad C George - a man of the District who is committed to our community for a better Virgin Islands, Vote Chad C George The Man You Know,’” the press release stated.
