Madinah Wilson-Anton, Delaware State Representative - district 26
"They thought we were joke candidates, they didn’t think we had a shot at all. And then to see all of us sweep out incumbants? People were like – oh crap. Maybe people actually want the things that are on their websites. Maybe we should act differently. And that’s real power." – Madinah Wilson-Anton
