I am still your representative – Hon. O’Neal
Hon. O’Neal made the statement yesterday afternoon, July 5, 2012 while delivering congratulatory remarks at the Bregado Flax Educational Centre Secondary Division graduation that was held at the Catholic Community Centre.
“As the representative for the 9th district, even though some people feel that Virgin Gorda have no representative any longer, I pledged to continue to work for the commitment of this island and Territory and do everything in my power to represent you,” he stated.
Hon. O’Neal told the packed centre that his motto has been a fair share and fair deal for all and that is how it will be “as long as I possibly can.”
Following the November 7, 2011 general elections, early counts had shown the incumbent representative trailing his challenger, Dr. Hubert O'Neal, but he eventually overhauled the challenger to retain the seat which he has held since 1971.
He received 565 votes and edged out Dr. O’Neal by 28.
