I agree with David here!

I know Matt Opaliski personally, how dedicated to DE he is, how well-schooled on DE code and procedures he is, how fair-minded he is, and how accessible he is. He has stepped forward to represent his district again. This time, he deserves to be given a chance by the senatorial district voters. He is the best choice for this seat.

That was fairly nice diplomatic reporting on the part of Bruce Rogers re: the Crossroads Community Church Candidates Forum,

but, when it came to the pivotal question of illegal immigration, he failed to mention that Matthew Opaliski really nailed it.

While Polly Mervine was out raising funds, Matthew Opaliski was raising votes. It’s not a question of whether the candidates agree

with Joe Booth — it’s a question of who best will INDEPENDENTLY represent the people of the 19 th Senatorial District directly and

pragmatically (free of partisan baggage and special interest influence).. It’s high time for some dynamic new blood in the upper

chamber of the state legislature — a creative alternative to politics as usual, well grounded in the principles of constitutional Liberty,

open government and commonsense.

With record deficits, the People of Delaware should be spared the monopoly and mediocrity of a one-party state and the expense

of an unnecessary special election in the 37 th District. The voters of the 19 th District have the power to make history (before history

makes them) by applying the principles of true fiscal conservatism in the greater public interest :

Joe Booth for STATE REPRESENTATIVE

MATTHEW OPALISKI for STATE SENATOR…

Thanks for the review, Mike. The more perspectives we have the better.

That shows gravitas, Mike. Hands down.

Her switch of position on Del Pointe was due to more information she has learned about the project. She is against the state’s involvement in the project. If it was 100% independent of the state she would support it.

Ms. Mervine did and acceptable job in her intro but she should have stayed for at least two-three questions. She hurt herself by leaving so soon.

Joe Booth displayed substance and on that issue he was on top but Matt Opaliski clearly connected with the audience on more occasions and seemed more in tune with the mood of the night. Joe provided a calmness and competence and Matt provided a man on the street with a passion to serve.
Both did well.

The Libertarian candidate showed knowledge of the issues but did not meet the gravitas of the office.

The Moderator, Dan Gaffney did a great job on the time and the moving between candidates.
