Perhaps this is why the Delaware Democratic Party feels so compelled to help Carney out. The $1 million is in addition to the $2.5 million he had in the bank at the beginning of the year.
“It takes a tremendous network of supporters to pull together this financial support, and John Carney has not been able to match Jack’s efforts,” Markell’s campaign manager, Andrew Roos, said in a prepared statement. “It’s not surprising that John Carney is having the state party pay for his radio ads because his campaign is not showing the momentum or financial support it needs to win. That money was intended to defeat Republicans, and John Carney should pay it back.”
