If you are registered to vote as a Democrat or Republican, primary day is Tuesday, September 9. For information on where to vote and to see a sample ballot, visit http://pollingplace.delaware.gov/

If you are registered as a Democrat, I hope you will join me in voting for Jack Markell. If you are not a Democrat, hopefully you will get a chance to vote for Jack on November 4.

I believe Jack is the best candidate for governor both for our state and for Newark. He is a leader with integrity, empathy, and intellect. He has the vision and leadership style to move Delaware forward and make sure our communities are vibrant and healthy.

While some have begun to slew negative attacks, those who know Jack or know the work he has done as state treasurer recognize false old guard attacks on a new guard candidate when we see it. Jack has promoted financial literacy in his role as state treasurer and was the first statewide elected official to support the offshore wind farm.

Jack is someone who has stood up for his own convictions and is the type of person who will make sure he delivers on getting Delaware where we need to be. There is a clear choice today – between a candidate who will continue the do-nothing Minner administration and is tied to corporations and party bosses and a candidate whose networks are the environmental, civic, business, and progressive communities and will embrace and enact innovative change to progress our communities.

Jack Markell is stronger on issues like our state’s education, economy, environment, health care, and communities. He has detailed plans and proposals to effect change. He is also the stronger candidate in his leadership style – something he has exhibited during his terms as state treasurer. Please join me in voting for Jack Markell for governor.
