Carolyn Frank knows our state. Born in Wilmington, Carolyn has spent her life working, learning, and helping people across New Castle County. She attended the Brandywine School District (BSD) and graduated from the University of Delaware and Delaware Technical Community College with a degree in Nursing. Through Carolyn's experience in nursing and respite care, she realized the large health disparities in our state. She believes many of these issues are due to poor spending choices by the state. Homebound patients and those living with chronic illness deserve simple access to care. Carolyn wants better for Delawareans, and better investments in their health. As a former student of Forwood Elementary, P.S. duPont Elementary, Hanby Middle, and Concord High, Carolyn is prepared to prioritize the needs of students, teachers, and parents. Proper redistricting, education standards, and building safety are crucial for students' success in school. Expanded Pre-K and childcare are also needed to help our parents and students enter the school system with ease. Carolyn is committed to improving the quality of education for all students in Delaware and District 5, regardless of income or zip code. Over the years, Carolyn has held the same jobs as many Delawareans. She knows the food industry, retail industry, home care nursing and hospital systems of our state. Carolyn understands the economic disparities between the working class and those who make millions or billions from the First State and intends to rectify these disparities through legislation that prioritizes real, working people. Carolyn's roots are in Wilmington, in District 5, and so are her ideas and plans for its future. She has been your lifeguard, your server, and your nurse. Her vision for Delaware's schools, healthcare system, and improved quality of life comes from her commitment to the success of the state and her desire to contribute to helping her community. Let's be Frank and vote for a hard-working Delawarean who wants her state's decisions to come from the people who build it each day. Vote Carolyn Frank for District 5.
