Abortion & Reproductive Rights
Donna Frett-Gregory described the overturning of Roe v. Wade as a severe blow to women’s rights and said abortions remain legal in the U.S. Virgin Islands under local law. She said women in the territory continue to have the right to choose and warned that the decision could harm access to health care and disproportionately affect marginalized communities.
Climate & Energy
Supports a major modernization of Virgin Islands energy infrastructure centered on reliable, affordable power and expanded renewable generation. Also favors solar with battery storage, higher renewable penetration, and clean-energy transition measures while allowing temporary or transitional fuel options where feasible.
Public Safety & Guns
The campaign emphasizes public safety through crime prevention, youth programs, mental health support, targeted policing resources, and rehabilitation-focused corrections. Public-facing materials also note the territory’s gun violence problem, but they do not lay out a specific gun-policy agenda such as background checks, red flag laws, or firearm bans.
