I rise today to recognize Virgin Islands- Puerto Rico friendship, celebrated throughout the month of October--but I just wanted to get everybody geared up for it now--in which we recognize the bond between our territories, united by…

there is so much upheaval and so much concern that is going on in our country right now--unemployment, Medicaid cuts, all the things that are happening. Yet, in the Virgin Islands this weekend, on my home island, we had our annual Tart…

as Americans celebrate this Independence Day, July Fourth, the day the Founders declared their intention to be free from England, the day before in the Virgin Islands, July 3, we celebrate one of the most historic and spectacular days for…

I have repeatedly told people, when asked about the rationale for actions of this administration, to follow the money. Yesterday, in the House Budget Committee, we heard alarming testimony from expert witness Robert Gordon. He reminded us…

I rise today to honor the women veterans of the United States Virgin Islands on this Women Veterans Day. From the date that President Truman signed the Women's Armed Services Integration Act into law in 1948, Virgin Islands women have…
