JESSICA SCARANE ANNOUNCES! And what an announcement it is:
Steve, My name is Jess Scarane, and I’m a Democrat running to represent Delaware in the United States Senate.
For years I’ve tried to work within our broken system to make our city and state better. I joined the board and became president of Girls Inc. of Delaware, a nonprofit organization that provides in-school and after school programming for girls in under-resourced communities. As board president, I advocate for state laws that will protect girls’ rights, because this world is not an easy place for a child to grow.
The injustices these kids face make it even harder. They need leaders who are looking out for them. That became even more apparent to me when one of our girls unexpectedly lost her mom this year, leaving only her grandmother to take care of her. I find myself waking up in the morning worried about that girl.
I worry she won’t be able to go to the doctor if she’s sick or attend a school that provides the resources she needs. Will she have a safe and affordable roof over her head every night? Will rising sea levels flood her neighborhood in her lifetime? How much harder will her life be now?
And maybe most importantly—who is fighting for her?
Senator Coons isn’t. Maybe it’s because he’s too busy working with Donald Trump and the Republicans to protect predatory corporations at the expense of ordinary people. Maybe he genuinely believes in the agendas of his Wall Street and Big Pharma donors. Maybe he accepts our country’s massive racial and wealth inequality because he benefits from the current system.
Whatever the reason, his actions are hurting Delawareans like us who just want a roof over our heads, healthcare, a living wage, and a healthy environment. There’s no excuse for compromising away a better future to protect the status quo.
Delaware deserves better, and that’s why I’m running. I will listen to all Delawareans, not just the wealthy few or the political elites or the corporations. We need to lead on a Green New Deal and Medicare for All. We need real economic justice, and we need to hold true to our values as Democrats.
In solidarity,
– Jess
Bloomberg: I Was Wrong About ‘Stop And Frisk’. Oligarchs have no understanding what it means to be an ordinary citizen. And they don’t care as long as they reap political benefit from it. Kinda like Chris Coons.
Trump Attacks Pence Aide. Pence, of course, doesn’t defend her. More evidence of Trump losing it:
Tell Jennifer Williams, whoever that is, to read BOTH transcripts of the presidential calls, & see the just released ststement from Ukraine. Then she should meet with the other Never Trumpers, who I don’t know & mostly never even heard of, & work out a better presidential attack!
The President of the United States.
Soledad O’Brien Tells It Like It Is. I agree with everything she says here. Especially about the names she shames.
Virginia D’s Won On Gun Control. Delaware D’s run from it. The feckless Delaware D leadership is so out of touch it’s pathetic. Carney and McBride in particular. BTW. Dave, that’s some house you have there in Lewes. Tarpon Drive. You’ve really moved up in the world since your Wilton days. Are you thinking of selling it and moving back to your district? I’d be happy to post it here as long as I get a small commission from the sale. Might just do it anyway…
What do you want to talk about?
