The Issues

Ruth is eager to begin implementing positive and real change in Dover. Below are just a few of the issues we are facing in the 37th and throughout the State, issues that Ruth is passionate about!

On September 12th, vote for Balance!


Balance of Spending:

Issue: You and I must balance our checkbooks and live within our limits. We should expect no less from our elected officials.

Solution: Ruth will work to balance the budget by reducing government spending, not by raising taxes.



Balance of Jobs:

Issue: With fewer manufacturing jobs, and a previous focus on retail, real estate, and the building trades, the declining market has greatly affected jobs in our district.

Solution: Ruth will work to diversify our job base through initiatives that will encourage new businesses to locate in our area.
Balance of Power:

Issue: Currently, one party controls the Governor’s office, the Senate and the House of Representatives. If that party wins this election, they will have an absolute 3/5th’s majority which means they can raise your taxes, control the budget, and grow the government without a single vote from the other party!

Solution: Ruth will prevent one party control and ensure all options are heard.



Balance of Responsible Growth and Development:

Issue: Our area will continue to grow. Growth helps create jobs and benefits our local economy, but it must be planned well and managed responsibly.

Solution: Ruth will work diligently to maintain local control on land use decisions and balance growth and development with individual property rights.
