It has been said that if everyone is thinking alike, then somebody isn't thinking. That sentiment describes our Legislature in Dover and the real need for new, strong voices in our state Senate like Kim Hoey Stevenson in the Sixth District.
For too long, the Democrat monopoly on power in the Legislature has squashed the latest ideas and ignored the public’s need for greater accountability and better use of taxpayer dollars. Sadly, too many in Dover act as just another rubber stamp for bad policy and top-down direction which has weakened our public schools, eroded public safety and put our state on the wrong track.
Kim will face these challenges head-on and will do so with intelligence and insight gained from her career.
A lifelong Sussex resident, Kim understands what makes Sussex County a special place for the people who live there. She will be a strong voice for families, small businesses and for every person who comes here. Her experiences as an educator, journalist and community leader have prepared her for this position, and I believe she will serve the Sixth District well from the very start of her term.
Kim knows the key to good leadership is listening to people and learning about what they need. She did this as vice chair of the Sussex County Planning & Zoning Commission and will do this as the next senator. She won’t go along with bad ideas set forth by people who only visit the Cape Region during the summer. Kim is a proven bipartisan problem solver who gets the job done.
Cape voters looking to have their voices heard and respected in Dover would be well served in electing Kim Hoey Stevenson to the state Senate in the Sixth District.
