I would like to rebut Peter Schott's criticism of a candidate for the 14th Representative District, Claire Snyder-Hall, from his letter earlier this week. I worked closely with Claire as a board member when she was executive director of Common Cause Delaware, and I saw firsthand the great work she did convening a coalition of more than 30 organizations to advocate for the freedom to vote, her work getting Sen. Tom Carper on board for filibuster reform to protect voting rights, and the strong relationships she has developed working on a range of issues in Dover. Claire is honest, collaborative and one of the hardest-working, most intelligent people I know. She will lead the 14th District at Leg Hall with the care and attention that her predecessor did, if not more. Claire for Delaware!
