| Collapse all
- Education in Delaware has been a terrible return on our investment, and a tragic fail for our children.
Measured by Forbes, Delaware is one of the worst 5 States for overall grade level achievement scores, but in the top 5 for spending per pupil.
For 8th grade math proficiency, we only have 18% passing grade level. How are they going to succeed at life, much less be able to pursue a valuable STEM field? - Fiscal responsibility has left Delaware. We used to have a fairly low cost of living state, but it doesn't feel like that any more. We need to stop overspending, reduce taxes on the lowest income groups, lower our cost of energy, and get back to a more competitive position.
- We need to Bring Back Balance. Delaware has slid too far under the control of one party, and we need to restore a more central position.
Energy production in Delaware will need to be significantly expanded if we want to be competitive for high tech jobs. We can be leaders in clean energy production by following the lead of retiring Senator Tom Carper, and building new, safe, 4th Generation nuclear energy units.
