General election

The gubernatorial general election was held on November 8, 2022, with incumbent governor Albert Bryan facing three candidates: St. Croix Senator Kurt Vialet, former police officer Ronald Pickard, and former senator Stephen Frett. Early voting started October 10 and ran through October 31, 2022.

In this divisive election, Sarauw again faced questions about her tenure at CAHS as a teacher, which was mentioned during her 2016 Senate campaign.[12] She pushed back by stating that the reprimand letter was for being the most inspiring teacher during the 2009–2010 school year, and an honor from the Middle States Association of Colleges and Schools and any unbecoming behavior she may have exhibited during her tenure as an educator at CAHS, could also be attributed to her age, 21 at that time. "I was 21, I was a baby. I was 21 then, I'm making 37 in two days, and people grow, evolve and they mature."[13]

At a virtual campaign rally, Bryan supporter King Derby sang "Roach & His Sluxter" while referring to Sarauw as "he/she" and Vialet as "that long-neck fella." The commentary drew outcry from the community, which led to Bryan apologizing days later.[14]

On election day, incumbents Governor Albert Bryan and Lieutenant Governor Tregenza Roach won 12,157 votes (56.14%), while their closest rivals, Kurt Vialet and Janelle Sarauw, received 8,244 votes (38.07%). Election results were certified on November 18, 2022.[15]

The Bryan campaign was fined $2,000 by the Elections System after fundraising with Dominica Prime Minister Roosevelt Skerrit on September 27.[16]
