THE CANDIDATE REPORT CARD

Promises deserve
a paper trail.

Every candidate gets the same evidence standard. Published assessments must show the review period, original sources and a chance to respond.

01

Attendance

Sessions and committee meetings attended, with the number of recorded meetings and the review period.

02

Votes & legislation

Roll-call votes, bills sponsored and enacted outcomes, with links to the underlying record.

03

Promises & delivery

Specific commitments compared with documented results. Credit shared work accurately.

04

Public money

Budgets, contracts and audit responses. An audit finding is not a criminal conviction.

05

Qualifications

Education, employment and experience checked against original records; unresolved claims clearly labeled.

06

Responsiveness

Responses to published questions, including the date asked and a fair opportunity to reply.

How assessments will work

Each category will be marked Documented, Partly documented, Disputed or Not enough evidence. Missing information will not be treated as failure. Incumbents are assessed on their record in office; challengers on verified experience and specific proposals. These are different evidence sets and must be identified.

Candidate-by-candidate assessments are under research. No individual grades have been published. Any future numeric grading method will be disclosed before scores are released.

Consult the Legislature’s official records

Audit records: a separate evidence trail

The Virgin Islands Inspector General publishes audits and follow-up reports on government operations. Read the report and agency response before drawing conclusions about responsibility.

Browse official audit reports and historical archives

Initial selection: three 2026 sentencing records, checked October 4, 2026. This is not the complete 2000–2026 timeline. Sentencing summaries describe the cited announcement; they do not confirm later appeal outcomes. The archive will expand as records are reviewed.

WAAH GWAAN / THE PEOPLE’S INTERVIEW

Real questions.
Accountable answers.

One core question set for every candidate, with follow-ups grounded in the record. Viewers deserve the full answer and the source behind the question.

  1. What are your three priorities, and what will you deliver in your first year?
  2. How will you reduce power costs and improve reliability?
  3. What is your funded plan for roads, healthcare and public safety?
  4. How will you protect public money and disclose conflicts of interest?
  5. What will improve opportunities for young people, veterans and small businesses?
  6. Which measurable results should voters use to judge your performance?

Interview recordings will appear here when verified replay links are available. Paid appearances and sponsorships must be labeled; payment does not determine an assessment or guarantee favorable coverage.

Facts first. Corrections visible.

October 12, 2026 update: Added island-specific early voting dates, hours and sites; clarified that registration has closed; linked official sample ballots. Corrected St. John’s early voting start to October 23.

We link original records, distinguish reporting from opinion, and give subjects an opportunity to respond. A charge is an allegation unless and until proven. Corrections will identify what changed and when.
