Expand all | Collapse all

I ran for the 24th State House district in 2016. I am a transit supervisor for the bus system at the University of Delaware. I volunteered at the food pantry at my church until Covid-19 closed it. I sit on the executive board for the Delaware Rail Splitters Society, a conservative think tank, and I am the GOP district chairman for the 26th Representative District.
  • Delaware's economy has been ranked near or at the bottom in terms of growth, and this is a failure of the leadership of the party and officials in charge.
  • I favor term limits for legislators at the state and federal level. The two houses are the voice of the people, and more people should have the chance to make their voices heard.
  • Our schools deserve to be run better. There is a lot of waste and poor planning that needs to be corrected. Let's work with the school boards to make public school better ans safer.
I care about the fact that our economy is not realizing its full potential, but is rather held back by the lack of leadership by the governor and other elected officials. Manufacturing has been allowed to leave, and was made more difficult for it to return. I have a bold plan for growth in the service sector, but this would also be a catalyst for growth in the manufacturing and industrial sectors. There is no reason why we cannot see the vitality we saw in the 1980s.
I admire those who have worked hard to get to where they are and are in places I aspire to be. One example is my hopeful future colleague, Rep. Michael Ramone. He tried several times for the office he holds, and his perseverance has yielded the desired result. He is a tireless advocate for his constituents, and I could hope to be at least half the man he is.
An elected official must have integrity. An official also must be able to leave no doubt in people's minds that said official is as good as their word. Far too many politicians have lost or broken the trust of their constituents.
I like to believe I am diplomatic in nature. I look for commonalities to build on and then work to find a solution most can agree upon. I tend to be soft spoken as I do not believe progress can be made by losing my cool.
For a state legislator, the responsibility is to make sure basic services continue, and that the services provided to keep life going do so without encumbrance. An example of this would be making sure the roadways are properly maintained, paved, and no overgrowth of bushes encroach the roadways.
While I am not looking for accolades or self-aggrandizement, I at least wish to contribute to the effort in leaving Delaware better than we it was upon entering office.
When I was a young child, I remember news about Skylab being the only thing that could be found on TV.
I worked assisting the custodian at my school while in the 9th grade. I began in the winter, February I believe and kept it through the end of the school year in June.
Working on public speaking. I tend to get nervous, but after a good ice-breaker, I found I can manage satisfactorily. I am not the greatest public speaker, but neither was George W. Bush (and he would say as much), yet he was elected President twice.
The House of Representatives' members have a shorter tenure, thus they should be that much close to the people. They also represent a smaller number of people, for the same reason - that they are closer to the population they represent. Senators might seem a bit more distant as they represent a larger group, however, with my state being rather small, neighborhoods have the opportunity to connect at a closer level with their state elected officials.
While it is a benefit to have some experience for the office you seek, it certainly isn't the rule, as it is often a politicians' first foray into public service. Previous service in, perhaps, a civic association or municipal body of course helps with at least the inner workings of how a legislative body functions. How one decides how to meet the needs of those one serves always is going to be unique to that individual.
The biggest challenge facing our state now is how it will compete with the rest of the nation, especially if the current leadership remains. It is going to take people with bold visions to move our economy. It will take a bold move by the voters to trust new faces with the task of moving our state forward as those in place have let it stagnate and seems content to have it remain so.
The legislature and the governor should work together to come up with ideas and be proactive int eh process of ironing out the details. The governor, if one happens to be of the opposite party of the legislative majority must have the mental maturity to work with that legislature to bring good policy about, and not be spiteful or combative for the purposes of scoring headlines or points for special interest groups.
It is critical to have close relationships with other legislators. Those who have more seniority can help sway others and find ways for a newer member to be more effective...almost like a mentor. It is also good to have a rapport with members of the opposing party for the purposes of finding common ground on more consequential matters.
I would favor a process that follows natural geographic barriers rather than demographic ones. It is difficult to get accurate representation when certain groups are targeted in order to facilitate certain officials or members of some demographics to be elected. Populations in each district should have some connection and identify at lease loosely with the neighborhood in which they reside.
As my background is in the transportation field, I would hope to be on the transportation/land use committee. I also would be interested in the Economic Development/Commerce Committee as well as the Rules Committee, although it seems traditionally given to the most senior members of each caucus.
I look up to Representative Michael Ramone and Senator Ernesto Lopez. Both are outgoing and genuinely love talking with people. This helps them build relationships within their communities and the people recognize them.
While I have considered other offices, I am focused on this race. I could dream, but I do not want to get ahead of myself.
When I ran in 2016, I kept hearing how disappointed the voters were with the school district. While I am in a different representative district, I am in the same school district, and there has not been improvement. In fact, a referendum recently passed which asked residents to increase property taxes just to keep the status quo, and to continue upkeep of older buildings.
