With just over four weeks left until the Primary on Saturday, September 11th, I wanted to let you about several very important election deadlines that are coming up in the next few days - the most important being tomorrow's deadline to register to vote.

Over the last four years, Governor de Jongh and Lt. Governor Francis have worked hard to improve quality of life for all residents of the Virgin Islands. From increasing economic opportunity for citizens and businesses, to strengthening our education system for our children and continuing the fight against crime and violence, our Territory is now a better place to live and work. But there is more work to do! Now is the time to come together and support John and Greg's Re-Election!

This election is very important and we need all the support we can muster. If you are not currently register to vote, please take the time to register before tomorrow's deadline. If you are already registered, please encourage your family, friends and neighbors to register too. Together, we can make sure all of our voices are heard on Primary Day, September 11th.
