Below is the official response to a false, negative mailing issued against Chip Flowers, Democratic candidate for State Treasurer by Colin Bonini, our incumbent state senator opponent.
“In response to a decline in his poll numbers, we are disappointed that our opponent, Colin Bonini, has dodged candidate forums and issued a series of false and negative mailings and radio ads against Chip Flowers, Democratic candidate for State Treasurer. Mr. Bonini falsely asserts that clients of Mr. Flowers’ successful small business may conflict with the current operations of the state treasurer’s office. Unlike Mr. Bonini, Mr. Flowers is not a government official and has no conflict of interest issues at this time. Upon election, Mr. Flowers will have no management role in the daily operation of his successful small business and in accordance with the Rules of Professional Responsilibity of the Supreme Court of the State of Delaware, no client of the law firm will have a contract with the state treasurer’s office. We kindly encourage Mr. Bonini to cease issuing falsehoods and negative mailings and issue his plan to help move our economy forward. The people of Delaware deserve solutions, not slander.”
