Biographical History

Stacey Elizabeth Plaskett (born May 13, 1966) is an American politician, attorney, and commentator. She is a Delegate to the United States House of Representatives from the United States Virgin Islands' at-large congressional district and is a member of the Democratic Party.

A native of Brooklyn, New York, Plaskett spent her youth there and on the island of Saint Croix, U.S. Virgin Islands.

After graduating from law school, Plaskett accepted a position as an Assistant District Attorney in the Bronx, New York. She later worked at the United States Justice Department.

In 2012, Plaskett unsuccessfully challenged nine-term delegate Donna Christian-Christensen in the Democratic Party primary to be the at-large Delegate for the Virgin Islands. Two years later, Plaskett ran for the office again, wininng the primary and the general election. Plaskett has been reelected three times, receiving over ninety percent of the vote in all four of her contests.
