Melvin Evans defeated Watlington in the November
general election to become delegate. However, Governor Luis ultimately chose
Henry Millin as his Lieutenant Governor and

Governors of the territory be born in the U.S. Virgin Islands or have at least one parent who was born in the U.S. Virgin Islands in order to hold office. He served as Lt. Governor until leaving office on January 5, 1987, when he was succeeded by

Republican. However, he was defeated in the election by Democrat
Alexander A. Farrelly. Brady was elected as a delegate to the
1988 Republican National Convention in
New Orleans. Brady opposed a move to include a
constitutional amendment to ban
abortions in the Republican Party's 1988
party platform explaining, "It's a personal and moral issue, and I don't believe government has any business mucking around with it." He died in St. Croix after a long illness on September 16, 2015. ==References==
