Delaware Republicans have Primary for Governor

The Republicans have a primary for governor along with the Democrats. Mike Protack and Bill Lee are both official Republican candidates. They are both good people that I know personally and I am remaining neutral in the race. With that said you need to know what they are saying. Here is Mike Protack's announcement. (For my post on Bill Lee's announcement follow the link.)

Although a formality, I have been a candidate for months visiting with individual Delawareans and community groups listening and talking about how I would lead Delaware in providing health care to all citizens, provide quality education to all school aged children, provide jobs to all who want to work, and protect our environment for all to enjoy.

No other Republican has stepped up to the plate with a viable message to win this election nor has any Republican candidate shown the capability to discuss the issues, lead the state or show the character to be Governor of this great state. Delaware has suffered under one Governor who too often is "unavailable for comment". We don't need another disengaged and incapable person holding this high office.

Consequently, I have been left to defend the principles of the Republican Party offering well though out, positive workable solutions to our poorly run government. Simply, we can't survive four more years of business as usual under a Democratic Governor.

For the last 8 years the Minner/Carney administration has left the state with the Dead Weight of Tradition by having endless commissions, never ending studies, followed by empty promises and then poor results. From an under funded transportation trust fund to a violent and poorly led Delaware Psychiatric Center to a budget challenge in 2008 which was ignored.

They have not been responsible to the citizens of Delaware and it must end now.
