Schaeffer asks for your vote Sept. 15

September 11, 2020

I am running as the Republican candidate for the 3rd District Sussex County Council.  I ask for your vote and support in the Republican primary Sept. 15.  I have had the honor to walk our county council district and visit over 3,000 homes over the past couple of months.  It is a wonderful experience meeting so many diverse and fabulous people and their families.

We have discussed what we can do to help solve our transportation issues, manage growth appropriately, support our first responders and police, and keep taxes low.  I have listened and learned about our communities’ needs and wishes.  

I will responsibly manage our growth. I will finally put Transportation Improvement Districts in place to help fix our roads.  I support our Emergency Medical Service, our first responders and our police. I will not raise your taxes. The days of reacting to our growth most stop.  I will provide proactive results before growth occurs. 

Our roads are a disaster and our land planning isn’t far behind.  I ask you, ‘Are we better off with the same old failed leadership, or can we do better?’  I believe we can do better, and I will deliver solutions which will help resolve our transportation issues, control growth, support EMS, and keep taxes low. 

I encourage everyone to research TIDs on the internet and on the Delaware Transportation website. TID’s work.  

I look forward to solving these issues in my first few months of service and will work tirelessly to achieve these goals. I believe in being proactive and not reactive.  I believe in managing developers and aggressively managing growth. I will not raise your taxes. Please contact me at mgs1777@comcast.net if you have any questions.  I ask for your vote Sept. 15. I look forward to working for you and not for the large developers.  Thank you.

Mark G. Schaeffer
candidate
3rd District Sussex County Council
