My name is Eric Bodenweiser, and I'm a Conservative Republican running for State Senate in Delaware's 19th Senate District. I'm a member of the 9-12 Delaware Patriots, as well as the Delaware Tea Party. I'm a devoted husband, father, grandfather and Christian who feels that our state and nation is on a socialistic path, the consequences of which will impact our economic and moral well being for generations.

My opponent likes to talk about his "experience" in Dover, as though it were a good thing. In reality, his experience is an 8 year history of votes to increase our taxes and fees and increase our state budget. In fact, since he took office, Delaware's state budget has more than doubled. To the establishment, that means he "brings home the bacon". To me, that means he is part of our problem in Dover.

By voting to increase taxes and fees, my opponent has played a large role in Delaware's massive over-spending. Delaware now spends a total of roughly $8,000,000,000.00 every year. We're the second smallest state in the nation, yet we're the 4th most expensive state government in per person spending in the entire country. That's ridiculous!

We need to get back on track. Bigger, more expensive government is not the answer; it is the problem.

I will work for you to Cut Taxes, Fees, and Regulations. Unlike my opponent, I will work to cut our out-of-control spending and shrink our budget. Unlike so many politicians in Dover, I will work with the Tea Parties and 9-12 Delaware Patriots, not against them.

I'm Eric Bodenweiser, and I look forward to working for you.

Candidate for 19th Senate District
