Husband of Democratic Candidate for Senate District 19 States Position on Motorcycle Helmet Law

Gary Hilderbrand, Legislative Coordinator for ABATE of Delaware, recently sent a letter to all four announced candidates for the District 19 Senate seat.

As you may or may not know, a legislator from time to time will introduce a bill requiring all motorcyclists to wear helmets. ABATE of Delaware opposes such a measure. Mr. Hilderbrand's letter to the candidates gave a brief history of our organization, and asked for the candidate's position on motorcycle helmet laws.

The following response was received today from the husband of Democratic candidate Polly Adams Mervine:

Gary,

Thank you for your question regarding my wife's stance on legislation regarding mandatory helmet laws. You can feel confident that Polly shares her father's view on personal freedoms and would continue to oppose restrictions on those freedoms in the future.

Thanks again.

Jay Mervine

Why would Polly's HUSBAND respond to a question that was meant for her? Can she not think for herself or is she not intelligent enough to respond on her own? Hello.....who is running for this office?

makes you wonder if she can think for herself at all.
Oh wait, I forget, she is planning on winning solely because she is the daughter of the king of the Desk-Drawer-Veto. Am I glad she won't yield the same power if she is elected.

Can you say, "The Mother of all Marionettes"?
I knew you were thinking it.
I guess Jay Mervine will have to have a seat in the General Assembly too.
