‘Don’t give up on me’- Hon Fraser
Hon Fraser, who was first elected as the Third District Representative in 1999, urged his constituents to be reminded of the many good things they have done together over the past 24 years, “and even after the destruction of hurricanes Irma and Maria, we were able to use those experiences and beat back the world’s most potent pandemic ever,
COVID-19.”
The veteran legislator, who is being challenged this elections by Kevin C. Smith aka ‘OJ’ of
the Virgin Islands Party (VIP) and Aaron F. Parillon of the National Democratic Party (NDP), urged the electorate to not give up on him.
“I have proven to have been your best choice to lead your District 3 through disasters, so don’t give up on me.
“Please come and hear my new plans for the district and the territory, going forward,” Hon Fraser stated.
