‘I asking you to endorse my people, my party, my friends’- Gov Albert A. Bryan Jr
Further solidifying the sentiments that Virgin Islands Party governments have enjoyed and fostered a much better relationship with the US Virgin Islands than other administrations, Governor Bryan said the people of the two territories “are one people” and must work together.
The USVI Governor spoke at the launch of the elections campaign for incumbent Fifth District Representative Hon Kye M. Rymer in the parking lot of The Boys Gas Station in Huntums Ghut last night, March 18, 2023, when he endorsed the Virgin Islands Party.
‘Hard times make hard men’- Gov Bryan
According to the two-term Governor, who has family in the [British] Virgin Islands, he has great admiration for the last Virgin Islands Party Government, especially since it was able to weather the many storms that came its way, including the effects of the 2017 hurricanes, the COVID-19 pandemic, and the threat of a take-over by the British.
He said he read on the internet that good times make soft men and soft men make hard times, and hard times make hard men.
“But when you come through the hard times then you got good men and women, and you know and I know that we been through some hard times.”
No help from UK!
Governor Bryan also pointed out that through the struggles of the aftermath of the hurricanes and in the face of the COVID-19 pandemic, the Virgin Islands received no help from the United Kingdom.
While the USVI was given millions of dollars by the US Government after the September 2017 hurricanes and through the COVID-19 pandemic, the Virgin Islands received no significant help from the UK.
“And the British Government kicking down the door, tough times, but never did they flinch.”
‘Endorse my party, my friends’- Gov Bryan
Governor Bryan said it was admirable that whenever he checked in with the VI government it was always in good spirits, “because we forged tough men and women.”
He said the Virgin Islands Party team has been through the wringer but is still standing and going strong.
“The admiration I have for a team that does not have a government that is sending down billions and trillions and millions, the admiration I have for people that in the darkest of days they could get up and they could still make it happen for the people of the British Virgin Islands.
“So tonight, if had to swim from St Thomas to come I was coming, you hear? Because I want to tell the people of the British Virgin Islands that you have a team that has been through the wringer, you have a team that has really strived and they have made it through...
“Tonight, I asking you to endorse my people, my party, my friends,” Governor Bryan stated.

This man is a fool. He should know better than to take sides in a BVI (or any other country) elections.
This is THREATENING to our DEMOCRACY!
THE GOVERNOR OF THE US VIRGIN ISLANDS NEEDS TO CEASE HIS ACTIONS OF POLITICAL INTERFERENCE WITH THE BVI ELECTIONS OR BE FORCED TO RESIGN FROM THE OFFICE OF THE GOVERNOR USVI.
This results in threatening reflections by the people of the USVI as they now seek to tie your affiliation with the ongoing illegal and corruptive acts promoted by the organization. I would advise you to go back in your office of the USVI and just watch over; no not interfere politically.
Up to now from last September they said they would do fast track
Till date that has not happened
