‘Going to do everything [so] Luce Hodge-Smith is re-elected’- Skelton-Cline
“I want to disclaim here, in regard to… the Hon Luce Hodge-Smith, the elected representative for the Fourth District, that I am going to do everything in my power to ensure that Luce Hodge-Smith is re-elected,” he said during his radio show, Honestly Speaking, on Tuesday, November 3, 2026.
He had a special two-hour radio programme titled ‘The Problems are Deeper than an Election’, where Hon Hodge-Smith was the guest for the second hour.
‘I have a bias’
“I want to put that out there; I want you to know that I have a bias, I have already made a decision. I don’t want you guessing about that.”
Mr Skelton-Cline said one thing he will do is not lie to his audience but to tell the truth, even when it is inconvenient to him or them.
“So I am going to do everything in my power to provide Luce [what she needs].”
He said he was allowing her to speak and put forward her agenda during the programme. “[To lay out] what has transpired, what has taken place, and what’s about to happen.”
Mark H. Vanterpool running in the Fourth
Former legislator and now leader of the newly formed People’s Leadership Movement (PLM), Mr Mark H. Vanterpool has declared his candidacy for the Fourth District.
Mr Skelton-Cline has publicly denounced Mr Vanterpool’s approach to politics and said he does not support him for Premier of the Virgin Islands, as he is not "an ancestral Virgin Islander".
He also accused Mr Vanterpool and the PLM of splitting the National Democratic Party (NDP) votes, describing the PLM as “NDP 4”.

The same way Trump cost the Republicans their seats yesterday is the same way CSC will cost Luce her seat with his big mouth talking sh**. Anybody studying this confused man with two last names and an alleged history of taking taxpayer money for nothing?
One candidate is ineffective and did nothing in their term, as nice as they might be. The other candidate gets things done but asks you to turn a blind eye to their c*****on and personal ambitions and the fact that they quit on us, in addition to betraying us twice by once crossing the floor and joining the party that we did not want elected and then by helping someone else to do the exact same thing. No loyalty and no integrity. One is ancestral and one is not. I wonder if we had another option in the 4th if there would be enough votes for them to succeed?
