Robert O'Connor, Chairman of de Jongh-Francis 2010, the re-election campaign of Governor John de Jongh and Lt. Governor Greg Francis, today welcomed Ken Mapp's official declaration that he is a candidate for governor in the 2010 election. 

Mr. O'Connor said that he joined with the broadcast request of the person who chaired the committee that selected Mr. Mapp's running-mate, when she said that she hopes all will make it their business to "get to know the real Ken Mapp." 

"Nothing will do more to assure the re-election of our Governor and the continuation of the steady progress that we are making as a territory, than if everyone indeed comes to know the real Ken Mapp and his running-mate," said Mr. O'Connor.
