Dear Friend and Virgin Islander,
I’m Attorney Russell Pate. I am running for Senate.
Don’t vote for me, if you want more of the same. I’m different.
No Pay for Senate.
I will take no salary, benefits, or retirement for my work in the Senate. I will take no campaign donations. I won’t ask you for money. I won’t do fish-frys and bake sales. I’ll be open to all and beholden to none. As an attorney, I fight every day for normal hard-working people, like you. I’ll always fight for what is best for you and your children. For efficiency, the Senate should move to two-year budget cycles; four-year terms with staggard elections; with the goal of a part-time Senate.
