More than half of the contributions Delegate to Congress Donna Christensen has received in the current election cycle are linked to a Washington contractor who is the subject of a federal inquiry.
According to an article today in the Washington Post, Christensen has received at least $37,000 from contractor Jeffrey Thompson, who is suspected of using “straw” or phantom donors to evade contribution limits that are set for candidates running for office. His operations have drawn the attention of Federal authorities.
According to the article, Thompson’s accounting firm Thompson, Cobb, Brazilio and Associates, has 189 contracts with the federal government, worth $17.1 million. The company has done some business in the Virgin Islands, auditing grant funds awarded by the U.S. Department of Education and the Federal Highway Administration. TCBA recently advertised for an accounting position based in Saint Thomas, Virgin Islands.
Recently, Christensen has urged the Federal Election Commission to investigate the election system of the Virgin Islands, citing public discontent with the way the Board of Elections in operating. Perhaps this current development will hasten their acceptance of her request.

Let Redfield come. All of the administrations proxy’s that helped placed the VI in the current crisis can expect a serious beat down.They know they don’t have a rat’s @SS chance but will try anyway with the goal being to dilute the voter pool. Can’t wait to see “The Re@l Holland Redfield” eh. The game has changed.
You mean Rhino Redfield don’t you? The field may get crowded with Moorhead, Danet,Mossler, and now Redfield…which means nobody gets the required 50% plus 1…… So even if Donna comes out of top of the general election she will not get enough to win 50 plus 1 per cent, The crucial position is #2 where everybody groups together and blocks the #1. The number #2 will win and this has happened before I the VI in the gubernatorial race where Cyril King came in #1 and lost to Dr. Melvin Evans.
And that’s the exact premise De Jongh and his band of criminal proxy’s will try to exploit. Flood all the elected seats with waste of 9 months people. Voters simply need to be educated to avoid these spoilers on voting day.
Smart comment. I see it your way. Your perspective and history is correct and enlightening as a reminder. Number two is the winning position. Back number two.
