Tireless advocate for the development of the people and infrastructure of the Virgin Islands through education, economic development and social action.
I am grateful for the selfless service and bravery of Firefighters Brown, Hendrickson, and their fellow Fire/EMS personnel who risk their lives daily for the Virgin Islands community. Our deepest gratitude is owed to these incredible individuals.
Earlier this evening, Speaker McCarthy and I reached a budget agreement in principle.
It is an important step forward that reduces spending while protecting critical programs for working people and growing the economy for everyone. And, the agreement protects my and Congressional Democrats’ key priorities and legislative accomplishments.
The agreement represents a compromise, which means not everyone gets what they want. That’s the responsibility of governing.
And, this agreement is good news for the American people, because it prevents what could have been a catastrophic default and would have led to an economic recession, retirement accounts devastated, and millions of jobs lost.
Over the next day, our negotiating teams will finalize legislative text and the agreement will go to the United States House and Senate. I strongly urge both chambers to pass the agreement right away.
It was an honor to have @govbryan of the U.S. Virgin Islands join me for this morning's ringing of the opening bell at the @NYSE.
Miles of land and sea may divide our homes, but the bond we share as fellow Americans remains strong as ever.
It was a privilege joining @NYCMayor Eric Adams this morning for the ringing of the opening bell. I look forward to continuing our chat on building upon the shared ties of our communities when you visit the USVI!
The transformation of the territory is a top priority. Creating partnerships with educational institutions are key to our success. Partnerships with HBCU’s like Howard University are priceless.
Join us live at 7 p.m. on Monday, January 23, 2023, as Governor Albert Bryan Jr delivers his fifth State of the Territory Address to the 35th Legislature of the Virgin Islands and the people of this Territory.
I’m excited to support @govbryan as he runs for another term to build a stronger U.S. Virgin Islands for ALL Virgin Islanders. @DemStateParties are with the DPVI as they work towards November! @TheDemocrats
At the 2022 Mayor's Cup, Mayor @andreforatlanta had the pleasure of meeting with @govbryan of @govhouseusvi, where they discussed economic development, tourism, sports, & youth engagement opportunities between the @CityofAtlanta & the U.S. Virgin Islands. 🇻🇮
Our marine partners are doing tremendous things across the globe. IGY was just purchased by Marine Max making the VI one piece of the largest super yacht marina network in the world.
But here’s the deal: America still has a choice to make. A choice between a government by the few and for the few. Or a government for all of us. A democracy for all of us. An economy where all of us have a fair shot and a chance to earn our place.
