The Annual Jefferson Jackson Dinner took place in the Rollins Center Ballroom at the Dover Downs Hotel & Conference Center on Monday, September 18. More than 1,000 people attended, and I can honestly say that I've never seen more Democrats in one room.
I had the opportunity to hear what the Delaware candidates and public officials had to say about the future of Delaware, and it was the first time that I've seen all the Democratic statewide candidates at one event. The speakers included New Castle County Executive Chris Coons, Wilmington Mayor James Baker, Governor Ruth Ann Minner, U.S. Senator Tom Carper, Keynote Speaker and U.S. Senator from Colorado Kenneth Salazer, Candidate for Attorney General Beau Biden, Insurance Commissioner Matt Denn, State Treasurer Jack Markell, Lieutenant Governor John Carney, Candidate for U.S. House of Representatives Dennis Spivack, and U.S. Senator Joe Biden.
Although the candidates had different speeches, they all had a similar message: Democrats are the ones who should be representing the people of Delaware. After bonding with fellow Democrats and listening to all these prominent speakers, I felt extremely proud to be a member of the Democratic Party.
Democrats ARE organized, mobilized, and ready to take back our country!
