William Dilks Sr. completed Ballotpedia's Candidate Connection survey. The survey questions appear in bold and are followed by Dilks' responses.
What would be your top three priorities, if elected?
My top three priorities are 1) Education 2) Opioid crisis 3) Taxes and the state budget. Overall, I'm going to bring "common sense and decency" back to the state capitol in Dover, which is lacking in ALL of politics over the last 30 years.
What areas of public policy are you personally passionate about?
I'm passionate about helping the residents of my district, along with putting Delaware first. Delaware has fallen into the lower fifth of states for jobs, the economy, and freedoms to be the best one can be. Delaware, the FIRST state, needs to be returned to it's proud FIRST state standing, and not just merely exist as an after-thought through careless and selfish Democrat "rule" that has ruined this state over the last 10 years.
