Campaign website
Hall’s campaign website stated the following:
| “ |
So That ALL May Prosper Lower costs, more jobs, less wasteful spending in Washington. Working families in Delaware are struggling to get by. Donyale will use her business and accounting experience to cut the wasteful spending in Washington, help create more good-paying jobs here at home, and lower costs and inflation so that everyone has a better chance to succeed. Get tough on violent crime, stand with law enforcement and keep our communities safe. Donyale knows the importance of safety and security in our neighborhoods. That’s why she will work to provide our law enforcement the tools and resources they need to keep our families and children safe, get violent criminals off our streets, and ensure the safety and well-being of communities across Delaware. Improve our education system, support parents and teachers, and expand school choice. Delaware consistently ranks either last or near last in K-12 education. Donyale believes that is unacceptable–and if we want different results, we have to elect different leaders. We can improve our education system by investing in our teachers and classrooms, reducing overtesting and bureaucracy, putting decision-making process back into the hands of parents, and making sure every single child has access to an educational situation that sets them up for success.[2] |
