Reason for Seeking Public Office:

David's motivation for running is to make government work for all citizens, not just the wealthy and connected, but also for working families and their children.

We need to ensure that all kids have access to high quality education in Delaware's public schools, all hard working citizens have access to well paying jobs if they are committed to finding work, and that our economic policies support the middle class.
