2026 Election Cycle

The Future: 2026 Candidate Vetting Process

TheFuture is a coalition of Virgin Islanders committed to advancing transparent, accountable, and forward-thinking leadership across our territory. This page invites you to be considered for our 2026 slate.

Participation is entirely voluntary. Submitting a questionnaire or completing an interview does not guarantee selection for the slate, and carries no obligation on either side. Our process exists to introduce candidates to our rubric, ethics standards, and community — regardless of outcome.

Who we're vetting for

Three bodies. One standard.

We are vetting candidates for three elected bodies in the 2026 cycle:

Legislature of the Virgin Islands

Senators representing every district and at-large — the body that writes the laws and sets the budget for our territory.

Virgin Islands Board of Elections

The board that safeguards how Virgin Islanders vote — protecting integrity, access, and confidence in our elections.

Virgin Islands Board of Education

The board that sets policy for our schools — shaping the education and futures of the next generation of Virgin Islanders.

The vetting process

Three steps, fully transparent.

Step 1

Candidate Questionnaire

Complete our written questionnaire. This must be submitted before you can schedule an interview — it grounds our conversation in your record, values, and vision.

Step 2

30-Minute Interview

A focused conversation with two members of our vetting team. We discuss your questionnaire, your commitments, and what serving in office would look like for you.

Step 3

Materials Review

Our team reviews your application materials against TheFuture's public rubric. Candidates invited to the slate are notified directly.
