FLIPPABLE: Stehanie Barry for DE-HD21

I’ve been a resident of Delaware since 1996 and have lived in Pike Creek since 2003. I know this community well and believe this district deserves a Democratic representative who will accurately represent their values both locally and in Dover.

I’ve raised my family in Pike Creek. My boys all attended Red Clay schools and I have worked through the yearly challenges of school choice. My kids played Little League at Midway, they took swim and other sports lessons at the Western YMCA. I’ve volunteered in many different PTAs, coached Odyssey of the Mind, served on community association boards and worked with my neighbors a few different times to curb unwanted local development, in particular the preservation of the former Three Little Bakers Golf Course. I walk my dog, Maggie in Carousel Park and hike through the trails at White Clay Creek State Park.

I am now a single mom trying to figure out how to pay for basic necessities, the rising cost of health care, and still hope for a little extra money left over to enjoy life. I’ve lived through non-stop development in our backyards and lament the loss of open space, the golf course, and the bowling alley. I dread the proposed increased development and traffic coming down our streets. I know our community, I listen to my neighbors and friends. We want simple things… our kids to be safe, our lives to be enjoyable, our futures to be secure.

I know our community, its beauty, its resources as well as the challenges of everyday life. I am living it right here next to you. It is time for our voices to be heard in Dover. Together, we can make that happen.
