Businessman Bobby Williamson got into the gubernatorial race “to get things done.”
A multigenerational Delawarean and lifelong resident of Bridgeville, Williamson first announced his candidacy this past July, creating a three-way race between himself, state House Representative Mike Ramone and retired New York Police Department officer Jerrold Price .
Since then, Williamson has built his platform on not only taking action, but also ensuring that the voices of his customers, neighbors and fellow community members are heard across the First State.
Many of whom, he explained, have often been excluded or discounted in the eyes of state government – and aren’t being represented by legislators that work “for the people.”
“That’s why we’re hurting here in Delaware,” Williamson told Delaware Online in a phone interview on Thursday, Sept. 5. “[Because you] can’t get an even say in legislation at all.”
