569 Words3 Pages

Colin Bonini, called “the longest shot in the State of Delaware,” became the youngest member of the Delaware Senate in 1994 at age 29. Senator Bonini has represented the citizens of Southern Kent County for 21 years and has earned a reputation as a passionate & determined voice for limited government, compassionate & effective State policies, fiscal responsibility and economic opportunity. In the 148th General Assembly, Senator Bonini serves on five committees: Adult & Juvenile Corrections; Banking; Highways & Transportation; Bond; and Insurance. Throughout his years in the Senate, Colin has continuously rejected the “go along to get along” political culture in Dover. Indeed, he has refused to support a single bloated state budget during his tenure. Colin’s energy, common sense conservatism and willingness to stand up against the big government politicians haven’t gone unnoticed. He has been presented with the “Guardian of Small Business Award” from the National Federation of Independent Business (NFIB) and was named “Legislator of the Year” by the Republican Party of Kent County in 2012. Last year, he also earned the “Legislator of the Year” award from the Food Bank of Delaware for his work to help Delawareans to fight hunger. …show more content…

Colin received 49% of the vote, falling by a few thousand votes. Colin received the highest percentage and highest vote total for a Republican challenger in Delaware in almost a quarter century.

Colin out-performed the Republican ticket dramatically and energized the electorate up and down Delaware with his dynamic grass-roots

Maclay understood how important his personal reputation was and purposefully wrote for self preservation. The strongest example Freeman chose to portray the importance of reputation was her selection of Maclay’s description of speeches in Congress.

In today’s world, I think many politicians would benefit from acting in the way of doing the right thing, rather than supporting sides merely based on political affiliation. For this reason, I am passionate about educating myself as much as possible to candidates beliefs, and I look forward to being able to take part in my first elections in coming

The Progressive takeover of governmental activities in California in 1910 presented a unique opportunity to study such a phenomenon in its natural occurring state. The Progressives made it as hard as they could to crush the party system and to keep it from returning. In particular, “they made it nearly impossible for party activists outside government to organize, coordinate actions, keep informed about legislative activities, or, perhaps most importantly, influence party nominations to office.”

At all.” She explained how this meeting connected to Paker using an example of Mr. Conlon, a history teacher, and the graduated tax proposal the women had been discussing. “Mr. Conlon teaches economics, this would be a great resource for him to use in his economics class,” Elliott said, “to know about who could address local economic questions, like who’s working on this, how are they working on this.” Elliott desperately wants to connect the civic engagement program directly with classes.
