Spencer Brand is a Nevisian politician who is a member of the Nevis Island Assembly and is a minister in the Nevis Island Administration.
In the 2013 Nevis Island Assembly election, Brand ran as the Concerned Citizens' Movement (CCM) candidate for the Saint Paul parish/Nevis #1 constituency, losing to Robelto Hector of the Nevis Reformation Party (NRP).[1] He ran for the same seat in the 2017 election, this time beating Hector by just 11 votes.[2] Following the election, he was appointed to the Cabinet of the Nevis Island Administration (NIA) as Minister of Labour, Public Works, Physical Planning, Posts and the Environment.[3]
He was re-elected at the 2022 election by an increased but still slim margin of 27 votes,[4] and was re-appointed to the NIA Cabinet as Minister of Communications, Works, Water Services, Physical Planning and Environment, Posts, Labour, and Disaster.[5] From 9 to 11 June 2025, he served as Acting Premier of Nevis following Premier Mark Brantley needing to travel abroad on official duties.[6]
