Today, I ask for the forgiveness of the residents of the 9th Representative District. I made a mistake. I removed the literature of my opponent's campaign from the door of a voter. It was wrong and I should never have done it.

This was a lapse of judgment that I humbly regret. Please forgive me. I won't make any excuses for this action. I have apologized to my opponent, my supporters, and now I apologize to the voters of the 9th Representative District.

I work hard to live up... to the standards I set for myself and I am disappointed that I fell short in this instance. But I intend to move forward in running a positive campaign that's focused on talking to voters about the real issues facing MOT and Delaware.
