In the March 19 article about the candidates for state treasurer, Delaware Grapevine wrote “Flowers looks at himself as treasurer and sees a shadow governor.”
The Flowers for Treasurer Campaign wants to make clear that this characterization is the opinion of Delaware Grapevine, and it does not accurately represent the position of Chip Flowers or his campaign.
At no time during the interview with Delaware Grapevine did Mr. Flowers express any desire to be governor of Delaware. Mr. Flowers and the Flowers campaign support the efforts of Gov. Markell to manage state funds responsibly and to promote economic development.
After the successful conclusion of his campaign, Mr. Flowers intends to work cooperatively with Gov. Markell, the members of his administration responsible for finances and economic development, and with the General Assembly to restore prosperity throughout the state of Delaware.
While the Flowers campaign respects the right of writers to express their views on political issues, we believe it is essential to differentiate between the opinions of writers and the positions of candidates.
