About Cecil R. Benjamin


Cecil R. Benjamin is an American political activist and executive, and chair of the Democratic Party of
the U.S. Virgin Islands. The Democratic Party elects leaders who fight for equality, justice, and
opportunity for all. It strives to build a strong party capable of lifting Democrats all across the country to
victory, from the state house, to the Senate, to the White House.

Mr. Benjamin believes that the Democrats’ fundamental responsibility is to recruit and elect Democrats at
all levels, from the top of the ticket to the bottom, who share the same values, who will make a difference
in the community, and who will improve the lives of the people. He feels the party must focus on the
issues that are important to the people: energy, GERS, security, health care, economy, education, jobs,
housing, transportation, election reform and the high cost of living.

“These are serious times and we have a lot to do. When Democrats come together, we all win. Together,
in unity and respect for one another, we shall achieve much more,” said Benjamin.

Before entering the political arena, Mr. Benjamin was a teacher and served as the president of the St.
Croix Federation of Teachers and the international and national vice-president of the American
Federation of Teachers. He was also the commissioner of the Virgin Islands Department of Labor and in
2016, he served as a super delegate from the U.S. Virgin Islands at the 2016 Democratic National
Convention in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania where he supported Hillary Clinton. In addition, Benjamin
served as the chair of the Democratic Party of the Virgin Islands and was the U.S. Virgin Island's
representative, nominating Joe Biden for the party's nomination.

Born in British Guyana, Cecil received his M.Ed. from Temple University in Philadelphia. He is a
member of the Magician's Sports Club and the A.M.E. Church. In his spare time he enjoys physical
fitness, sports and reading.
