Dave brings a lot to the table. His whole statement is worth reading:
I would love to be the Governor of the state of Delaware, and more importantly, I would love to run for Governor: to earn it, everyday, vote by vote, from before sunrise to after sunset. I have a story to tell, one of growing up here, being educated in a Delaware public school, being a five-time small business owner, helping to elect good Republicans to office, taking on those in my own party during the Atkins fiasco, and now leading on issues like open and good government, spending and entrepreneurism.
In fact, I am the only person running for or considering a run for Governor who’s ever been the #1 person in a private business or organization. I’ve had to meet a payroll as a small business owner. I’ve had to face the uncertainties that only an entrepreneur can know. I’ve succeeded in business and I’
ve struggled in business. It is this kind of experience and mentality that we desperately need in Dover: someone to ask not where we find the money, but instead to ask if we really need to spend the money. I would relish the opportunity to rebuild the bureaucracy, eliminate the waste and rid the state of the cronyism. It would be rewarding and fun to bring that mindset to Dover as the next Governor.
But now, unfortunately, is not the time for me to pursue that goal, for three reasons.
