  Scott Burdette
  
• "I endorse Mitch Crane as Delaware's next Insurance Commissioner because I believe that our Insurance Commissioner ought to be a consumer advocate. Mitch is that advocate. I also think that who we elect in these Primary and General Elections says something about what we believe in as a Party and as a state. I believe in putting people before profits, I believe that we should encourage and enforce consumer oriented laws, and I believe that single-payer is the best option to both reduce our health costs while providing universal coverage to our citizenry. Those are the things I believe in, the same things Mitch believes in, and when we elect Mitch Crane as our next Insurance Commissioner, we will make a loud statement about what Delaware believes in. "
  Brian Boyle
  
• "As you may know, running against an incumbent of the same party and succeeding can be a very difficult task to complete in a state like Delaware. Mitch has been an active public servant for several decades and is coming out of retirement to do what he feels is the right thing for all Delaware residents. We understand that Mitch has the leadership qualities, background knowledge, and exceptional experience to be the voice of the insurance consumer, but we also need to build local support. This is something Mitch cannot do on his own. For this campaign to be successful, we will need a strong and organized grassroots structure. Support Mitch and support what's best for Delawareans! "
  Corinne O'Connor

We have too many that 'back-door' the issues and skate around them, Mitch has said he will be an advocte for the consumer and after meeting him I KNOW that he will and he means it.
