As anyone who lives in Delaware knows, our primary elections occurred yesterday, and I finally know whose running mate I am: the next Governor of Delaware, Jack Markell.  Congratulations to Jack, Carla, and the whole Markell team.

Let me say something about Jack’s primary opponent, John Carney.  John is an extraordinary person, and I am confident that he is going to stay involved in public life in Delaware for a long, long time.  I stopped by to listen to John talk to his supporters after the results came in last night, and he was absolutely eloquent, especially in talking about what it had meant to him to have the privilege of serving as Lieutenant Governor.

I will be proud to run on the ticket with Jack.  He has a great plan for change for our state—as opposed to our opponents, who had no plans the last time I checked other than a health insurance “buyer beware” plan that should make you very, very afraid.  He is obviously a great campaigner.  And I think we will complement each other very well, both as candidates and as a team to help make our state everything it can be.

On to November!
