Positions

LiberalConservative

Economy & Taxes

Roach’s public record shows support for refund payments and targeted property-tax amnesty as relief for residents, alongside a focus on economic development and workforce growth. At the same time, the lieutenant governor’s office opposed a broader bill creating a 90-day amnesty for outstanding property, income, and gross receipts taxes, which leaves his overall tax posture mixed rather than clearly ideological.

Healthcare

Roach has emphasized health care as a campaign priority and said his ticket would focus on completing health facilities and addressing long-standing quality-of-life problems. His public actions as lieutenant governor also show support for helping residents use Medicare and private insurance coverage for COVID-19 testing and prescription drug benefits.

Climate & Energy

Roach has supported energy affordability measures, including possible energy subsidies and a forensic audit of the Virgin Islands Water and Power Authority. He has also backed a plan in which customers would receive half of the savings from increased renewable-energy use through lower electric bills.

Public Safety & Guns

Tregenza Roach has supported gun-violence reduction measures, including requiring firearms brought into the territory to be declared and registered and describing gun violence as a growing concern. His documented public comments emphasize tracking firearms, helping police enforcement, and addressing violence in the community.
