2020 DE Senatorial race: on Principles & Values


Chris Coons: There can only be reconciliation with repentance

Many of my Republican colleagues are now calling for healing and for us to come together. I'll tell you that there can only be reconciliation with repentance. I think the single most important thing that Republicans in Congress who helped facilitate this widespread conspiracy theory that somehow the election was stolen can do in these remaining ten days is to stop those lies and to persuade their followers that President-elect Biden is the duly elected President.

Chris Coons: We have to address the trust deficit in our country

We are at the beginning of the end of this pandemic, with nearly 300,000 Americans dead. That's a lot of empty chairs at tables at holiday time, and there's 16 million Americans infected, 850,000 filed for unemployment this past week for the first time. We have to address the trust deficit in our country. Trust in science and vaccines. Trust in each other after this election. The Senate can lead and show that we can deliver the kind of relief that will restore hope to the American people.

James DeMartino: Our government exists to protect our God given rights

Our government exists to protect our God given rights. I am a firm believer and supporter in our Constitution's fundamental principles of limited government, separation of powers, individual liberty and the rule of law. Our rights are not subject to interpretation by public opinion but rather by the Supreme Court. I will support the nomination of judges that interpret the constitution as written and intended by our founding fathers.

James DeMartino: Family man, Citadel grad, former Marine Judge Advocate

I was flattered when my friend James DeMartino, Esq., asked me to nominate him to run against that incumbent pink-o Chris Coons, who has been moving our state and nation to the left since 2015. I was happy to let loose and let the 200 or so patriots there know what I really think. Jim is a great guy: Family man, Citadel grad, former Marine Corps Judge Advocate, intelligence officer and now an attorney-at-law in private practice. He'll make the kind of senator America and Delaware need.
