Williams: Delaware’s future is now

Terrell A. Williams is a Democratic candidate for the Delaware House of Representatives’ 9th District seat, which serves the Townsend area.

On Election Day, the 9th District will not just be able to vote for the future of our district but will also determine our state’s path forward. The Democratic Party is close to having a supermajority in our legislature. With our district’s support, we will be able to end GOP obstinance and pass important constitutional protections for all Delawareans. That’s one of the many reasons I’m running for state representative. I also know that I can represent the needs of the Middletown, Odessa and Townsend communities much better than my opponent ever has.

Like many of you, I am concerned with the rapid growth and overdevelopment of the MOT area. I am frustrated by the increased congestion on our roads and the long commute times to travel in and around town. Aggressive and distracted drivers have led to deadly collisions and unsafe roads for our families, runners and cyclists. This issue is not new but has been ignored by my opponent because he has favored developers and builders over his constituents. As your next state representative, I will advocate for smart development, more first responders below the canal and the resources to support our population’s growth. I will work collaboratively with elected officials at the federal, state and county levels to ensure that future development is in line with current community needs.
