Tim Collins 17th District Vote For Tim Collins, 17th District
I am Tim Collins, and am running for State Representative of the 17th district. I truly believe we have too many politicians that don't have real life experiences, and this results in no real life solutions. If you choose to elect me as your state representative, I plan to bring real life experiences with real life changes!
I am a victim of the broken judicial system. I was falsely accused when I was a minor, in and out of foster care, and given a public defender that was not equipped to handle my case. Once in the system, I was constantly being dragged down, and I had no hope. I'm disgusted and I want to make changes to insure that the judicial system is doing just that: Providing Justice!
I pushed my way through the corruption to get where I am today. I want to give that hope to others as well. I look forward to working with everyone on the issues we face here in Delaware.

This is a spiritual book, but it made me think and react to situations in my life in a whole new way. I had to stop saying why did these bad or wrong problems happen to me; I now say how or what I can do to fix these problems.
That situation was a huge struggle! As I stated before, I pushed through the corruption! To get to where I am today! I am proud of everything that I have experienced because these experiences are what will help me bring real life changes to the legislature.
