Tackett sent out this e-mail to community leaders. I swear I have not changed one letter of what he wrote. This is (presumably) his own syntax:
Well I am reaching out to share some exciting news, I have decided to run for the senate seat in our area, As you know I have been the councilman for going on 10 years now and I have used this experience and time to build my relations in the communities and helping our residents on the county level and I am now ready to move to the state side and use my experience with the multitude of state issues we are facing. We have worked on many issues in Breezwood over the years and we will have many more.
I have watched as Dover has done nothing for our economy and jobs and they only dealt with a bunch of social issues while we have been hurting and struggling just to maintain. I fell it is time to carry our voices into Dover and demand this struggling economy be addressed. I promise I will be this voice!
The guy we have now that beat DeLuca last year still lives with his parents and while he is a nice guy I just feel he does not understand the pressures we face as homeowners, parents and ever increasing pressure of inflation.
I hope to have your support and know I have been here for the district and I will carry a strong voice we so badly need now.I hope to have your support and I am always available to stop and talk and or chat on the phone if you would like.
Dave Tackett
So there you go. Nothing can ever be taken for granted in an off-year primary.
We simply can’t afford to lose Bryan Townsend. I can’t recall another senator who has had such a positive and impactful first term. So, feel free to click here and…well, you know the drill.
