Here is his announcement:
I wanted to make sure you heard a personally exciting life update, I’m running for Congress!
I’m running for Congress because I still believe we’re a state of neighbors.
When both you and your neighbor thrive, we all thrive.
I grew up in a place that cared for me and everyone in my neighborhood. Every person on my block felt like family.
All around me I saw people making sure all kids got a good education, connected friends to job opportunities, and supported when finances were tight.
That same spirit of community is what Delaware needs right now.
One person cannot do this alone.
Together, we can build a state where each of us gets the healthcare we deserve, which allows families to care for their parents and loved ones.
Together, we can build a state where all communities have access to good paying jobs, which reduces crime through stabilized neighborhoods.
Together, we can build a state where everyone gets the reproductive services they need, which allows people to make the best decisions for themselves and their family.
Together, we can build a state where we urgently address climate change, which protects our state for future generations.
Together, we can build a state where every child receives an excellent education no matter their zip code, which creates a local pipeline straight to our business community.
That is why I’m asking you to join me and click here to become a Founding Donor of my campaign.
We need to build a bridge to bring people and resources together. Neighbors who aren’t afraid to stand up and fight for each other.
And that’s why I’m running. I am making good on my promise to keep fighting for us. Our fight starts here with each and every one of you.
From Claymont to Selbyville, from the beaches to Wilmington, from Newark to Smyrna, from MOT to Dover, this campaign and movement is going to take all of us.
As a Delaware community we have to come together to take on the fight to ensure every single person here in this state gets a secure and prosperous future.
Delaware, let’s stand tall together.
Eugene Young
I know I’m in the minority on this, but this could be a primary that lifts both candidates. And, yes, I’m talking about one of them in Congress, and the other winning the US Senate seat from Chris Coons in two years.
Here’s hoping for a positive progressive campaign from both Eugene and Sarah.
