In style and substance Ken Simpler is the Brett Kavanaugh of Delaware politics. A vote for Simpler is a vote for Trump. He should be in the fight of his political life right now, he isn’t.
Colleen Davis announced her run against Simpler in June, then nothing. A primary race would have allowed her to get some earned media, sharpen her message, build her team, raise money and start hitting Simpler where he is weak – on the fact that he is a Trump-loving Republican.
It cost $4,623.28 to file for Treasurer. That could have been a good early investment.
That said, Kathy Jennings got a primary and where’s her campaign?
DAGSBORO – Colleen Davis of Dagsboro is running as a Democratic candidate for Delaware State Treasurer.
She filed with the Delaware Department of Elections Friday, June 15.
Davis, 38, is a health care professional based in Dagsboro. She has focused on sustainability, efficiency, and quality-of-care for health care providers and their patients – experience she believes would serve her well in the treasurer’s office.
“I am honored to announce my candidacy for treasurer for the state of Delaware,” Ms. Davis said. “As a consultant for major hospital systems, I know what it takes to develop sustainability amid an ever-changing economic landscape. I’ve gained an understanding of the complexities of creating economic growth on a large scale, realizing efficiencies, improving quality-of-care, and increasing viability – all while never losing focus on meeting the needs of the public.”
Ms. Davis says that ensuring the long-term financial health of the state, while advocating for the needs of its residents, are not mutually exclusive. “My experience as a consultant, clinician, and business leader has allowed me to cultivate honest, trusting relationships with people of various backgrounds,” she said. “As treasurer, I can be a conduit between Delawareans and policy makers to ensure our financial planning puts people first.”
