As your next St. Croix Senator Brad will work to create programs to train our workforce for jobs in emerging fields including tourism, construction and technology. He’ll work to attract and retain large companies, small businesses, and non-profits to help create jobs on the island. And he’ll restore fairness, integrity, cost-efficiency, and transparency to the economic development process. Will establish a better working relationship between both branches of government to provide real results for St. Croix; eliminate the finger pointing.

Our families and neighbors are being held hostage by the surge of increasing violent crime. It is time to put an end to this circle of violence by taking control of the resources for public safety and for once, exercising real leadership. As your next St. Croix Senator Brad Nugent wants to create real partnerships and bridge that gap between law enforcement, neighborhood groups that we serve and constituents. With Mr. Nugent’s leadership, community policing will be more than just political talk. We’ll work to identify at-risk youth at the community level, and coordinate between officers and social services so that they don’t fall through the cracks. We’ll offer better pay to recruit, train and retain good officers. These men and women put their lives on the line each day and deserve our respect and more importantly, our support in fulfilling their mission. Brad believes that it’s time we invest in them.

As the Nugent for Senate team travels across the district of St. Croix, we have received some of the best ideas from you to resolve our challenges. I will continue to post them on this website and share with the rest of the community in the public forums and debates over the next few weeks. Please visit us frequently and get updates on our plans to tackle affordable housing, health care costs, affordable energy and expanding St. Croix’s tourism industry.
