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 first response was receive today from Libertarian candidate Gwendolyn "Wendy" Jones:
Gary,(Note: Phone numbers removed by blog author)
I received your letter today regarding helmet laws. In direct response to your question, I concur strongly with Adams' position. I fully support the citizens' right to the freedom of choice. I oppose mandatory helmet laws. I have been a motorcycle rider for over 30 years, and an ABATE supporter since my years in Maryland. I am available and interested in discussing this with you and your group personally or publicly.
In Liberty,
Gwendolyn "Wendy" Jones
19th District Senate Candidate

Given Ms. Jones' positions on the issues, her stance is hardly surprising. I also find it refreshing that she signs off with "In Liberty". There are not many politicians who use those words. I have a feeling that they are used here not as flourish, but as sincere sentiment.
