Dear Friends:

It has been my privilege to serve the great people of Delaware both as your Governor and as your Representative in the United States Congress.  It has truly been one of the greatest honors of my life to have received your trust and support.  I ask you to once again to place your trust in me as your candidate for the United States Senate.

More than ever, it is critical that Delaware has an experienced, independent voice in the United States Senate.

These are challenging times. The economy is struggling and we all know family, friends and neighbors who have faced job loss and financial stress. Our top focus must be sustainable economic growth and job creation.

Washington should take the lead from American families who are living within a budget and make common sense adjustments to match the economic times in which we live. Spending in Washington has simply gone too far and is not the path back to economic prosperity.

With threats to Americans, both at home and serving abroad, our diplomatic relations and our leadership position in the world has never been more crucial.

Now is not the time for partisan rancor and roadblocks, but for workable, common sense solutions to prevail. Every day, this is what I fight for in Congress and how I led as your Lt. Governor and Governor. In the Senate, I believe I can have an even broader impact on bringing these solutions to the table and getting the job done for Delaware.

Here at home, we have found ways to work together to solve problems, and I am committed to making government work in Washington.

Please join me and my campaign for the U.S. Senate as I carry this message across the state.  As your elected Represenative in the United States Congress, I thank you again for your trust and support, and look forward to seeing you on the campaign trail in the months ahead!

Sincerely yours,

Mike Castle
