Is that it? Is this all Democrat Insurance Commissioner Matt Denn has got – he’s running for the children? If that’s the key to a successful political campaign, then Sally Struthers should be President. Come on Denn – you’re a statewide elected official – and that’s the best you can do? Hey, here’s an idea for your slogan: “The Children are the Future”. Ugh! From Community Pub:
Declaring that he will “stand up for Delaware’s children,” Matt Denn on June 6 formally kicked off his campaign to contend for lieutenant governor in the 2008 general election.
Denn, a Democrat and the state’s current insurance commissioner, said he would continue to take on the powerful interests on behalf of the state’s children. Speaking in Millsboro, Dover and New Castle, he was introduced at each stop by a Delawareans who he had personally helped with a health insurance problem.
“My goal as Lieutenant Governor will be to ensure that each child in our state goes as far in life as his talent and determination will take him,” Denn said. “Every morning when I get up, the first thought on my mind will be ‘what can I do to help this state’s children succeed?’ ”
Republican state senator Charlie Copeland is the only Republican in the race.
