Meet Angel L. Bolques Jr., A Devoted Leader with Deep Roots in the Virgin Islands

Welcome! I’m Angel L. Bolques Jr., a proud son of the Virgin Islands, born on the serene shores of St. Croix, raised amidst the breathtaking beauty of St. John, and dedicated to serving the people of our territory from my professional base on St. Thomas. My heritage spans seven and a half generations, deeply connecting me to the culture, history, and aspirations of these islands.

Throughout my life and career, I have remained committed to addressing the needs of our community, inspired by the values instilled in me by my family and shaped by my experiences in both the private and public sectors. My journey has been one of service, collaboration, and unwavering dedication to building a brighter, more inclusive future for the Virgin Islands.

A Legacy of Service and Tradition
The principles that guide me were rooted in the examples set by my parents. My late father, Angel L. Bolques Sr., exemplified compassion, respect, and hard work—cornerstones of our Puerto-Crucian heritage. My mother, Patricia Powell-Mitchell, brought the traditions of unity, hospitality, and resilience of St. John into our home, nurturing a deep faith and spirituality that continues to ground me.

These values drive my commitment to inclusivity, integrity, and meaningful leadership. As a bilingual Virgin Islander, I am privileged to connect with diverse communities and foster understanding across cultures. By honoring the legacy of my parents, I strive to serve with compassion and purpose, ensuring that the voices of all Virgin Islanders are heard.

A Career Defined by Versatility and Achievement
My career spans a range of impactful roles, each shaping my understanding of the challenges and opportunities unique to the Virgin Islands. These experiences have equipped me to lead thoughtfully and effectively, always with the well-being of our community in mind.

As Senator At Large, I am honored to represent the entire Virgin Islands, advocating for legislation that improves lives, strengthens our infrastructure, and promotes equity and progress. From economic development to cultural preservation, my work reflects the values and priorities of our territory. My legislative efforts include a broad range of measures aimed at improving various aspects of life in the Virgin Islands.
