BREAKING: It’s Official. Sarah McBride Running for State Senate!
Here’s the release:
STEVE,
I have something special to share with you – I’m running for state Senate.
All my life, I’ve been an activist who has fought to make my community a better place for everyone to live.
This community, this little slice of Delaware, is a special place. It’s where my brothers and I grew up and it’s where my parents fell in love. But it’s more than that.
It’s a place where we’re all neighbors. I’m running because our neighbors still need someone who will fight for them.
Even with “good” healthcare, premiums are still too high, coverage is still too limited, and prescriptions are still too expensive.
When someone you love is sick, you shouldn’t have to make the choice between going to work and taking care of them when they need you the most.
There is still critical work to be done to undo the double standards in our criminal justice system.
We can meet these challenges, but it will take big ideas and the courage to act. Together, we’ll prove that our community is able to make progress on healthcare, paid family leave, criminal justice reform – and then some.
I’ve spent my life standing up so that people can have dignity, peace of mind, and a fair shot at staying afloat and getting ahead.
I’m running for the Delaware State Senate to stand up for you, and I’m asking you to join me.
I look forward to sharing more of my vision with you over the coming weeks and months,
Sarah

Awesome! Huge upgrade.
Sigh.
Care to elucidate?
On second thought, never mind.
Her early entry is really smart. Gives her a chance to raise some money, build her organization.
Others will have to play catch-up. If they can.
Outside of political circles, no one pays attention to candidates until the final week.
Outside of political circles, voters don’t pay attention to candidates until the final week.
Raising a few bucks, hmmm, maybe.
She’s a hero on this site, but will have issues with the average Claymonster voter.
The people in this district, particularly those who live in the city portion of the district, are among the most engaged and active in the state. I have no doubt that a lot of them will take part in this primary as volunteers, and that any candidate who organizes early will take advantage of that fact.
Concern trolling? Really? So 2016.
This is good news!
Cool, glad to hear it, like what she’s got to say.
