Lesmore Smith brings horse racing experience to PVIM - Hon Skelton
Mr Smith, a businessman and President of the BVI Horse Owners Association, was yesterday, January 15, 2019, announced as a new PVIM At-Large Candidate via a Facebook video released on the Party's page.
Horse Racing Experience
Hon Skelton in the video released said, “Mr Lesmore Smith brings to the Progressive Virgin Islands Movement a large amount of experience in security especially and in the Horse Racing arena.”
The PVIM Chairman continued, “Lesmore is a self-made man… and Lesmore is someone who I welcome to this team because of his ingenuity and his forthrightness to work hard and accomplish what he wants.”
Mr Smith in his maiden speech as a confirmed At-Large candidate said that he decided to join the party after hard consideration and a series of meetings.
“You’ll ask why do I choose to join politics… as a BVIslander born and raised, I believe that I can contribute a whole lot in the development of our country especially at this state in which it is in,” he said.
Willing to stand alone – Smith
Mr Smith continued, “The Virgin Islands is home for me and for the rest of us, and as a BVIslander, I will commit myself fully to you the people, to ensure that I give everything I have to make it what it ought to be... viable, financially independent and moving forward,” he said.
The confident Smith also pledged to fight alone in the event the PVIM fails to live up to expectations, “I pledge myself in support to doing the hard work as always, even if I have to stand alone and do it myself like I am accustomed to,” he said.
“But I don’t think I have to, because when I look at my left and right I see some strong people that I can depend on,” he uttered.
“I have with me a leader with good financial accountability that I know for a fact that my money will be well spent,” he said referring to Hon Skelton, a former key member of the NDP 1; a party and government accused by political pundits for its general lack of accountability and transparency.
