The future of Puerto Rico’s political status and its fragile economy are at the center of fiery debates as the island’s two biggest political parties hold contentious gubernatorial primaries
The future of Puerto Rico’s political status and its rebounding but fragile economy are at the center of fiery debates as the island’s two biggest political parties hold contentious gubernatorial primaries on Sunday.
Meanwhile, Puerto Rico Sen. Juan Zaragoza, who was highly lauded for his work as the island’s former treasury secretary, is running against Rep. Jesús Manuel Ortiz to be the main candidate for the Popular Democratic Party, which supports the island’s status quo as a U.S. territory. Power outages remain such a big concern that the State Commission of Elections rented more than a dozen generators and a private power company identified 81 alternate voting sites with guaranteed electricity.
Ahead of the primaries, Pierluisi has touted record tourist numbers, ongoing hurricane reconstruction and growing economic development among his successes as he seeks re-election. He has pledged to prioritize projects targeting children and the island's growing elderly population, among other things.
