WEST END, Tortola, VI- Independent candidate Mr Chad C. George will be launching his campaign for the First District seat at the Cappoon’s Bay Field from 7:00 PM on Saturday, March 11, 2023.

It was on February 17, 2023, that Mr George had announced his decision to contest the upcoming general elections and noted that he would be an Independent Candidate.

Mr George is one of three Independent Candidates declared for the 2023 General Elections. The others are Perline R. Scatliffe-Leonard in District 7 and Lesmore Smith (At-Large).

‘The man you know’

His campaign slogan is Our District, Our Future- ‘The man you know’.

In a press release on February 17, 2023, Mr George was described as being no stranger to the First District, and known for his passion for standing up and fighting for what he believes in.

‘The man you know’

“Being a man of the people for the people, Chad has assisted and helped various individuals in the District wherever he could, no matter their age. He has now decided to make this a full-time commitment and dedicate himself to public service, to further develop the First District. He knows that it will not be easy, but together the First District can and will be the what we all know it can be - “Great”.

Who is Chad C. George?

It also said Mr George was raised in Carrot Bay by his mother and grand parents, and that he knows the meaning of family and togetherness, and with that strength and unity he will achieve all that is needed to propel the district forward.

Mr George, according to the release, attended the Isabella Morris Primary School, then the BVI High School, where he was Head Boy in his senior year. He later went on to attend HLSCC and transferred to Norfolk State University where he attained a Bachelor’s Degree in Business with a concentration in Finance (Cumme Laude).

Upon his return to the VI from college, Mr George worked in the Private Sector, holding various positions within the Financial Services Industry, including his current position as an Approved Compliance Officer/Money Laundering Reporting Officer.

      The NDP is calling around saying that he is with them so vote for him. I hope that this not true. This is the problem I have voting for independents.

    Some people think that it's a waste of time to vote for independent candidates because they essentially have no power to get things done. Coupled with the opposition they can serve as a balancing or check to the Government on unpopular projects.

      They run as independent so that in the event they win, they can join the party with the most wins to form the government. Simple mathematics

    Those folks who are pushing party are not realizing that Party Politics is what has gotten us in this mess and the people are tired of it. No one party will make up the next government. there will be a coalition, therefore independent candidates will have a very important seat at the table.

      So he gets elected then what? He has to join a team if he wants to get anything done. The whole independent argument is a farce, there is no such thing!! He has been an Andrew Fahie/VIP fan all his life and as soon as the head coach is off the scene he is an independent? That is how stupid you think people are? Karl will cut the grass at Capoons Bay with this poser.

    Give Chad a chance. The Green one cannot defend. He is piggy backing in the first off Andrew connect. He from the 2nd and won't even be considered there. He is just a number He does not take a stand on issues. I am so sorry Shaina didn't chose district. This would be her time. She is innovative has always spoken out for the community and her voice for the people of the first has been consistent for the last sixteen years.

    Karl knows how to be politically correct but not how to be a politician. I suggest they keep church and Sunday School out of politics. Separation of church and state has it's advantage.
    Let's take a minute and look at recent history - Stoutty was in the church entered politics and had to run for his salvación. Anghel entered ran away for his salvation. Now enters Green disciple under the shadow of the past representative during the most difficult period of the Territory.
    How is he going to help improve international relations? Improve the economy? What is his views on crime? Has He said anything publicly to help motivate the frustrated youth. His lordship has a doctoral in Education what views has He shared for the advancement of Education in the Territory and how he can further reach the youth? As head of HLSCC what were his major achievements?

    Forgive me maybe I need to be enlightened. Please don't tell me about his involvement in the Methodist church tell me about his involvement towards the overall betterment of the Territory.

    Old people say what the lord don't want the angels can't have. I pray for the Territory and ask the Lord to direct the leadership ahead.

    Whatever is his will for the Green disciple and the other candidates thy will be done.

    No need to be so bitter and bias. I am sure Karl will not
    Try to destroy you. Give him a call and you may just get your answers. Better yet use your name and he will probably call you. This is a sad place to live in.

    We have large empty resorvoirs because there is no money budgeted to maintain the water plant. Very simple.
