Friends,
With only four months remaining in this historic primary, I want to provide you with a brief update on the progress of my campaign to become Delaware’s next State Treasurer. After more than 250 events, more than 6,000 personally signed letters, hundreds of phone calls, and many sleepless nights researching ideas to better the First State, our hard work has paid off! We are now engaged in a highly competitive primary against the appointed incumbent. Thank you for your support!
As we enter into the final stretch of this campaign, the stage has been set for this exciting race:
“Creative Ideas to Restore Prosperity versus Endorsements”
On September 14, you will decide which of these principles will guide the next generation of Delaware leaders. We encourage you to compare our Restoring Prosperity Plan to our primary opponent’s four-paragraph issues statement. The final choice resides with you.
While I am humbled and grateful for those who have endorsed (and may endorse) my campaign, my focus remains on earning the support and trust of the People of Delaware by offering creative ideas to better their lives. If you believe in this message, I am asking for your vote in September.
Over the past year, our campaign has emphasized a consistent theme: Restoring Prosperity to all the People of Delaware. We have taken this message up and down the state and have received supportive and enthusiastic responses not only from voters seeking a new and innovative State Treasurer’s Office, but also from those individuals who are part of what I call “Delaware’s Energized Democratic Center.”
Delaware’s Energized Democratic Center consists of Democratic and independent voters who are mainly:
· Young families seeking to find jobs and an improved quality of life in Delaware;
· Working families hoping to turn the tide from our economic crisis;
· Middle-class taxpayers searching for financial relief in all aspects of their lives;
· Small business owners desiring a new base of customers and capital to fuel growth;
· State workers, weary in morale yet strong in hope, searching for inspiring goals;
· Individuals eager for innovative solutions in governing; and
· Unemployed and underemployed men and women believing that the promises of tomorrow are better than the despair of today.
This Energized Democratic Center recognizes the importance of a State Treasurer taking an active role in advancing creative ideas that will promote fiscal responsibility, enhance economic growth, stimulate businesses and improve our state’s capabilities in planning and economic forecasting.
I have heard your voices and I am confident our plan will change Delaware’s future.
With your support, we will succeed in our message of Restoring Prosperity and foster creative ideas that may serve as guiding principles for Delaware’s next generation of leaders. Again, thank you.
All the Best,
Chip
