“These are difficult and
serious times in Delaware and across the US. Families are
hurting. Jobs are lost never to return. The American Dream
seems to be a faded photograph.
The status quo of Washington
first and of everyday Americans last is not acceptable.
Washington is broken and unable to fix itself. The incumbent
has been in the Senate for nearly 12 years. He does not
understand that today’s problem originated in Washington and
not by the hands of the American people.
Unlike his predecessor,
the late Senator Bill Roth, the incumbent has no lasting
legislative achievements to his credit, such as the Roth IRA
or Roth-Kemp Tax Cuts. More importantly, the incumbent seems
unaware of the desperation in so many homes.
Food stamps were never
anyone’s career choice. People are angry and frustrated.
They have a right to be angry and frustrated and owe no
politician an apology or explanation. It is the politicians
who need to apologize. When our families are at risk the
political prestige of a career politician means nothing.
I wish the incumbent
well but my first concerns are for families, friends,
neighbors and our communities. It is time for the people to
stand together to fix what is broken. It’s time for the
people to fix Washington and begin rebuilding our way of
life and rebuilding our country”
