... and thank you for your interest in my campaign.

As a businessman, a homeowner and your neighbor I share your concerns, your frustrations and yes, even your anger about the issues that affect all of us. We are all in this together. For example, the 60% electric rate hike. It cannot be justified. It is excessive and unreasonable. That's why I called on the U.S. Department of Justice Anti-Trust Division to investigate the rate hike, the Delmarva Power monopoly and the deregulation itself.

You know me. You know I stand up, ask the tough questions, make my voice heard, take action and fight for the needs of all of us. You know I get things done.

I did it when I challenged our New Castle County government and held it accountable for the $242 million surplus of our tax dollars. I did it when I brokered a deal to bring 1.1 million gallons of heating oil to Delaware's low income families and homeless shelters through Catholic Charities.

But now I want to continue to fight for all of us. As your State Representative, I want to fight to improve our quality of life; to find innovative, long term solutions to Delaware's energy crisis; to end the waste and abuse of our tax dollars by bringing tough fiscal responsibility and accountability to our state finances, to provide a quality education to every Delaware child; to provide affordable health care and reduce the cost of health insurance and prescription drugs, and to foster economic development in Delaware through orderly growth. I want to create and bring good paying jobs to Delaware and to ensure that Delaware jobs stay in Delaware.

Please take a few minutes to explore my web site to learn about me, what I believe in, what I have fought for and my positions on issues important to all of us.

I encourage you to contact me to speak in your home, meet with your neighbors or to address your community, civic or business group, or to simply talk with you personally.

I also welcome you to become active in my campaign. Your support and participation are crucial. Help me help you. Together we can build our future. Together we can build a government that will work for people, not for politicians.

This election is about new choices. It is not about more of the same. On Election Day, November 7th choose to vote for your future, not for the past.

Thank you and I look forward to hearing from you.
