Hartley-Nagle Announces Candidacy.... YES!!!

Wilmington, Delaware – Karen Hartley-Nagle, 2006 candidate for Congress in Delaware's sole Congressional District, officially announces her 2008 candidacy and campaign and will hold events across the state over the next several weeks. Since making her intentions of seeking Delaware's sole Congressional seat in 2008 public, Democratic candidate, Hartley-Nagle has received numerous calls of support and offerings of help.

It is a reflection of her 2006 campaign in which she spent very little money and still received an enormous amount of support from voters across the state. In her 2008 campaign, Hartley-Nagle has started early and instituted an aggressive fundraising effort and professional campaign team that will allow her to defeat Congressman Castle in November.

"I know I can win. I have already received a great deal of support encouraging me to get into this campaign and am starting much earlier than last time", said Hartley-Nagle. "It is clear that voters are looking for change - someone to stand up for what truly matters to them. I will fight for the issues that matter most to our families and communities."

Hartley-Nagle's drive to provide a voice to all citizens can be seen in her advocacy on behalf of children, her work to pass family-friendly legislation, and her commitment to open and accountable government. She will bring that same unwavering spirit and common sense leadership to Congress by working tirelessly to stand up for what truly matters to the people of Delaware - not just offer a lot of grandiose talk and political posturing.

"By working together, we can win this seat in November and bring competence, progressive values, and common sense solutions back to Congress. We can and need to accomplish real change for the people of Delaware," said Hartley-Nagle.
