Republican National Committee (RNC) Chairwoman Ronna McDaniel issued the following statement paying tribute to Americans in the Virgin Islands, as the territory celebrates 100 years as part of the United States: “Generations of Virgin Islanders have joined fellow Americans from the states and territories in wearing the uniform of the Armed Services and steadfastly defending our freedoms and liberties as American citizens in the 100 years since the islands of St. Croix, St. John, St. Thomas and Water Island were acquired by the United States from Denmark. While the Virgin Islands is regretfully denied a vote for president, it has been the long-standing position of the Republican Party that Virgin Islanders are afforded equal opportunities and the right to self-determine their own future in the fabric of our great country.” Republican Party of the United States Virgin Islands Chairman John Canegata issued the following statement ahead of Interior Secretary Ryan Zinke’s visit for the centennial of Transfer Day: “Secretary Zinke’s visit to our islands in his first month on the job is a reaffirmation of the strong commitment that President Trump made to the Virgin Islands during his campaign. This administration is committed to ensuring a better, brighter future for all Virgin Islanders. By contrast, the now-former administration failed to send the Interior secretary to the territory until the final months of its second term.” Canegata along with GOP National Committeewoman Lilliana Belardo de O’Neal and National Committeeman Jevon Williams attended Zinke’s confirmation hearing in the U.S. Senate. As secretary of Interior, Zinke oversees the U.S. territories. Territorial Republican Party Chairman John Canegata issued the following statement ahead of the Transfer Day centennial: “Virgin Islanders have in the 100 years since Transfer Day steadfastly stood with fellow Americans from the states and territories in every war and conflict. Our formal history as Americans may be relatively short, but our islands have greatly contributed to the fabric of the United States since the days of Alexander Hamilton and, more recently, with Roy Innis.” The Republican Party of the United States Virgin released the following statement from territorial GOP Chairman John Canegata on Judge Neil Gorsuch’s confirmation hearing before the U.S. Senate Judiciary Committee: “In today’s hearing Judge Gorsuch proved why he is the perfect choice to serve on the high court. Time after time the Democrats tried — and failed — to land a single punch, which shows that their continued opposition is nothing more than petty political gamesmanship.” |
