In Their Words
What they have said, on the record
“The past several months has really been a pre-game or a pre-season, in a sense, to get ready for running against Chris Coons. And we brought together unity. We've created a coalition of Republicans, independents, and common sense Democrats. And we feel very positive about our opportunity and the outcome in November.”
“The first thing we want to do is bring unity to Delaware and also to Congress. There's been an enormous amount of division and divisiveness and dysfunction in our political system, not only in Delaware, but in Congress. And that's one thing I'm going to be doing is healing the divides, bringing people together to solve problems.”
