Letter to voters who switched parties
We want you back!
In the last election cycle, you changed party registration from Republican to either Independent or Democrat. By taking the time to do so, you signaled a continued interest in the political process and your abiding concern for the future of our wonderful state. We know you made this decision after careful thought and for your own personal reasons.
It is our hope that you will consider rejoining the Republican Party. We deeply regret that you did not feel your voice could best be heard as a Republican and assure you that in the future your voice will be not just heard, but listened to.
Today we respectfully ask you to provide us an opportunity to demonstrate that the Delaware Republican Party is the best place for your political home.
It’s no secret that our party has seen its share of recent challenges, both nationally and here in Delaware. Too often, our party has unfortunately not been seen as the positive, productive party of ideas and common sense that we want it to be.
To regain your trust, we know we must look forward, offering creative, constructive solutions to the needs of today and tomorrow, putting our state on the best possible footing for the future. These solutions range from profoundly changing state government’s tired status quo by improving transparency and accountability; putting forth positive ideas to improve our public schools so that children get the education they deserve; and leading on issues we’ve often not discussed – namely the environment, energy and healthcare reform.
We are greatly concerned that one-party rule has not been good for Delaware. Our state, county and city governments now face an unprecedented financial crisis. Government has simply grown larger than what we can afford. Yet, some say the only solution is to raise taxes or to trim around the edges with furloughs and temporary salary cuts. Delaware Republicans know we can do better and intend to work hard to make it happen.
We can't always control what our party may say or do in other parts of the country or in Washington. But here in Delaware, we will be the party of reform, limited government, job creation and great, new ideas. And we want you to be a part of that.
You and every voter deserve a choice and we are not going to let you down.
We will be working every day to regain your trust and support in the days ahead and ask you to give us your consideration, and, hopefully, your vote.
