Former House of Assembly Speaker and District Three political hopeful Julian Willock has announced that he will deliberately steer clear of negative campaigning as he prepares to contest the constituency in the territory's upcoming electoral cycle. Speaking during an appearance on JTV Channel 55’s The Big Story with host Cathy O.
Richards, Willock outlined his vision for the district while firmly rejecting dirty politics. Willock emphasized that his campaign strategy will focus entirely on presenting substantive solutions and demonstrating his readiness to champion constituent interests. He noted that while political attacks and accusations have already begun to circulate, he has no intention of responding with mudslinging or personal criticism directed at opposing candidates.
Instead, he pledged to approach voters across District Three with humility, detailing his track record and forward-looking plans. Addressing lingering public perceptions surrounding his leadership style, Willock pushed back against notions that political authority defines or alters his character.
He noted that his drive to assist the public is not tied to political office, arguing that he remains actively involved in community initiatives regardless of whether he holds power. Furthermore, Willock offered an apology to any community members who may hold negative impressions of him, maintaining that getting to know him personally reveals an approachable, community-oriented individual.
The District Three candidate insisted that his relationship with local residents extends far beyond electoral politics. He made clear that if voters decide to support another candidate on election day, he will remain rooted in the community to continue his service. Willock reaffirmed his commitment to maintaining key grassroots initiatives, including organizing job fairs, providing direct advocacy, and lobbying on behalf of residents who require assistance.
As political discussions continue to build across the Virgin Islands, Willock framed his candidacy around the principles of servant leadership, maintaining that his primary motivation remains the long-term advancement and well-being of the District Three community.
