Senator Kurt Vialet (Ernice Gilbert, VIC)
ST. CROIX -- Kurt Vialet handily won the senate battle in today's primary election on this island, besting his fellow incumbents -- all of whom were voted in -- and going into the November General Election as the senator to beat.
Mr. Vialet's total of 1,544, or 14.28 percent of all votes, was closely followed by another freshman senator, Novelle Francis, who came in a close second with 1,464, or 13.54 percent of all votes.
Mr. Vialet and Mr. Francis, along with Kenneth Gittens, Sammuel Sanes, Neville James and Nereida Rivera-O'Reilly, retained their seats at least for the primary election. The race becomes more interesting during the General Election in November. Newcomer Terrence Joseph came in seventh place.
