2024 DE Senate race: on Principles & Values


Lisa Blunt Rochester: Bright Hope Church instilled family with hope and resilience

Lisa's story, like so many Delawareans and Americans, starts with hope. Bright Hope Church is where Lisa's grandmother worshiped for decades, a spiritual home for Lisa's family that instilled them with hope and resilience. Lisa is guided by those values to run for the U.S. Senate and deliver for the people of Delaware.

Lisa Blunt Rochester: Prayed from House floor during the Jan. 6 insurrection

Blunt Rochester shouted out a prayer as she and other lawmakers took shelter while rioters broke through police barriers and into the Capitol building. In a video that has been circulating the internet, the sound of glass breaking and shouts of "Stay down" can be heard. Intermingled with these noises, Rochester can be heard pleading for God to heal America and asking for protection for those police officers trying to protect lawmakers, as well as for her fellow congress men and women.

Mike Katz: The two major parties are root cause of our divisive society

I was so dissatisfied with the years of corrupted two-party government dysfunction that I left political parties behind and became an Independent. In my previous service as a State Senator, I had an insider's view on how our corrupted and broken political system works. Grounded on the core value of winning and fixed to the influence of money, I have concluded that the two major political parties and the political industry are the root cause of America's divisive society and eroding democracy.

Mike Katz: American Dream is based on freedom and individual rights

The "American Dream" is based on the foundational principles of freedom and individual rights with the idea that every individual can pursue their own ambitions and goals. The Dream represents the belief that every American, regardless of their background, has the equal opportunity for prosperity and upward mobility through hard work. Dr. Mike Katz knows that, along with education and financial success, Homeownership is an integral part of the Dream.

Eric Hansen: Eric Hansen is NOT a politician; that's a good thing

Eric Hansen is NOT a politician. That's a good thing. We don't need more politicians. We need people who care more about fixing the problems facing our country and state than getting elected, who care more about you than themselves and who will actually make things better. Eric is running because he truly believes that we need to stop the party bickering and put the needs of the people first, and it takes a political outsider not beholden to special interests to do just that.
