STATE
DEMOCRATS: GET OUT THE VOTE
Democratic candidates, elected officials, Party leaders and
rank-and-file activists kicked off their final week of campaigning
for Election Day 2002 with a “Get-Out-The- Vote” Rally on Thursday
evening in Wilmington.
Senator Joe Biden stressed the
importance of this year’s elections to the crowd. “Let’s face it,”
he said. “It matters who shows up at the polls on November 5th.
This election will directly affect the safety of our neighborhoods,
the quality of our children’s education, our access to affordable
and first-rate health care, and our economic and national security,
for years to come. We must make our voices heard by voting Democrat
next Tuesday. With only six days to go, make it your personal
responsibility to get to the polls – and take someone else with you,
too.”
The event was held at the Delaware
Association of Police Hall on Lancaster Avenue in the
City of Wilmington. City Democratic Chairman Theopalis K. Gregory,
Sr. led the program. “We Democrats are here; we are ready; and we
are excited for a great turnout in the City on Election Day. Now is
the time for every Democrat to roll up his or her sleeves and get to
work to turn out the vote.”
“With enthusiasm like this, we’re
confident that the Delaware Democratic Party is ready for great
results in the upcoming November election – not just in
Wilmington, but up and down the state,” said State Chairman
Rick Bayard. “Our Party activists are ready to do whatever is
necessary – whether working the phones or going door-to-door – to
get Democrats elected. We won’t stop until the polls close at
8:00pm on November 5th.”
Statewide Democratic candidates in
attendance were U.S. Senator Joseph R. Biden Jr., State Treasurer
Jack Markell, Mike Miller for Congress, Carl Schnee
for Attorney General, and Bob Wasserbach for State Auditor.
Candidates for county and local offices were also on hand to greet
the crowd.
The Delaware Democratic Party will
gather on Election Night in Wilmington at the Wyndham
Hotel at 8th & King Streets.
