Michael J. Springer, Jr. Files Nomination Papers For St. Croix Senate Seat
St. Croix Senate Candidate Michael J. Springer, Jr.
Let us be the first to make it official.
Crucians In Focus President Michael J. Springer, Jr., is now officially a candidate for Senator from the St. Croix District. Springer, who is running as an independent candidate, has filed his nomination papers with the St. Croix Board of Elections, after having secured the requisite number of signatures from his supporters.
Springer, who ran unsuccessfully in 2008, said his experience in the previous campaign, “taught me a lot about what it would take to win and I am bringing those lessons with me into this new campaign.”
His decision to change his affiliation from Democrat to independent was predicated on his belief that the Virgin Islands Democratic Party no longer represents the interests of the people of the Virgin Islands and has not demonstrated any intent to change its approach. Further, he said, “the issues I plan to focus on in this campaign affect all Virgin Islanders, regardless of party or no party affiliation.”
“I plan to refocus our efforts on the basics, on government from the ground up,” Springer said. “Those basic areas – education, crime, infrastructure – should be our focus for the immediate future. So I won’t come with millions of promises. I will commit to returning government representation to the needs of the people.”
As he is running as an independent candidate, Springer will not be on the ballot for the primary, “but just as you have heard from me on all the material issues over the past two years, you will be hearing from me on all the issues between now and the general election in November.”
Good luck, Mr. Springer!
