PLEASE NOTE IN THE VI OUR RULES PROVIDE FOR THE ELECTION OF DELEGATES IN A PARTY CAUCUS.  EVERY ONE WHO VOTES CAN CHOOSE DELEGATES (UP TO SIX) WHO MAY NOT NECESSARILY BE PLEDGED TO THE SAME PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATE. SINCE GOVERNOR MITT ROMNEY HAD ONLY THREE CONVENTION DELEGATES RUNNING UNDER HIS NAME THAT GAVE VOTERS A CHOICE TO VOTE FOR OTHER COMMITTED OR NON-COMMITTED CANDIDATES. IT APPEARS THAT OUT OF RESPECT FOR CONGRESSMAN PAUL’S CAMPAIGN THERE WERE EXTRA VOTES TO GIVE TO OTHER CANDIDATES OR NON-COMMITTED CANDIDATES.

ALTHOUGH DR. PAUL RECEIVED ONLY ONE DELEGATE, HIS TEAM RECEIVED UP TO THREE ALTERNATE DELEGATE SLOTS AND WILL BE WELL REPRESENTED IN OUR SMALL DELEGATION.

The first six highest vote recipients are delegates. All are elected at large for the U.S. Virgin Islands

INTRODUCTION OF CANDIDATE

I  need your support. I am Gwendolyn Hall Brady and I most humbly and respectfully ask for your vote to serve as a Delegate from the Virgin Islands Republican Party to the 2012 Republican National Convention. A dedicated public servant, I would use my more than thirty (30) years combined experience in crime prevention, criminal justice planning, banking and insurance, financial compliance, and legislation drafting and monitoring to represent you at the Convention.  At present, I serve as Legislative Director for the Honorable Usie R. Richards, Chairman of the 29^th Legislature of the Virgin Islands Committee on Rules and the Judiciary.  I consider my job to be very rewarding intellectually, multifaceted and challenging, all of which would enhance my position if elected as a Delegate.  My responsibilities include researching issues critical to the well-being of Virgin Islanders; researching, analyzing and drafting proposed legislation; reviewing laws from other jurisdictions for possible application to the Virgin Islands; preparing Bill Drafting Requests for the Senator; monitoring and coordinating legislation proposed by the Senator; preparations for and assisting the Senator at Committee Meetings and Legislative Sessions; writing reports on actions taken by the Committee; addressing constituent concerns; analyzing reports and other materials; representing the Senator at public events and assisting with administrative operations.

I previously served as Assistant Vice President/Regional Compliance Manager for Banco Popular Virgin Islands; Director of the Virgin Islands Division of Banking and Insurance within the Office of the Lieutenant Governor, Equal Employment Rights Manager for FEMA (St. Croix) and Director of Administration with the District of Columbia Housing Finance Agency.

I am the wife of Honorable Julio A. Brady, Judge, Superior Court of the Virgin Islands. An active volunteer, I am a member of St. Mary’s Catholic School Development Committee; Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority, Incorporated (Mu Gamma Omega Chapter, St. Croix); the League of Women Voters of the Virgin Islands and the Virgin Islands Commission on the Status of Women. I am a former member of the Board of Directors of Catholic Charities of the Virgin Islands and Holy Cross Catholic Church Finance Committee.

I speak frequently in the community on topics such as the basics of parliamentary procedure and financial management.  A published author of religious books, I am an alumnus of Florida State University and Howard University School of Law.

PLEASE VOTE FOR GWEN BRADY MARCH 10, 2012 TO SERVE AS A DELEGATE TO THE 2012 RNC.
