Delaware

I’ve known Rebecca Young since we both responded to a call to “meet up” and discuss the candidacy of a then unknown governor from Vermont named Howard Dean. We were both intrigued by the man who had the nerve to say what was obvious to us, but nobody was saying: George Bush was making a mistake by attacking Iraq. Since then Rebecca went on to push to reform the Democratic party from the outside as the head of Progressive Democrats for Delaware and from the inside as the New Castle County Democratic Party’s Secretary and a member of the State Party Executive Board. This year she took her advocacy for good government one step further and decided to run against long time incumbent Joe Mirro in the 22nd senate district.

Rebecca was good enough to take a few minutes away from door knocking to answer a few questions (via email). Click more to read the interview.
