    My Senator is Margaret Rose Henry, my Rep is Dennis Williams. I confess I don’t know my New Castle Co. Councilperson.

    Katz, Lavelle, County Councilman unknown.

    Bobby Marshall, Helene Keeley, Jea Street

    My state senator is Margaret Rose Henry. And I think my city councilperson… I think… is Hanifa Shabazz.

    OK, I fail. I’m pretty sure my state representative is also an African-American woman, but her name escapes me at the moment.

    County Council, no idea.

    Helene Keeley is probably your Rep, X.

    I know this one:

    State Senator: Anthony DeLuca
    State Representative: William Oberle
    County Council: Dave Tackett

    X may be thinking of Hazel Plant.

    And I have the same City Councilperson, who I like to forget, frankly.

    Ennis, Cathcart, and Smell (I mean Bell), repectively.

    Then again, I think you all expect me to know that.

    McDowell, Williams, Street and Congo.

    i think it’s katz, that migliore guy and I don’t know the county guy

    Cloutier, Williams.

    We have a county council?

  12. xstryker says:
    March 5, 2009 at 9:12 am

    Cass is right, it’s Hazel Plant.

  13. nemski says:

    DV, I’m pretty sure your state senator is not Katz.

    9/25… Peterson and Kowalko… NCCo Council… no idea… Lisa Diller just won, what, an at-large spot??

  15. Delaware Dem says:
    March 5, 2009 at 9:22 am

    Nemski…it is. Trust me, every time I would drive past DV’s house, you would see those Clatworthy and Katz signs everywhere.

  16. Delaware Dem says:
    March 5, 2009 at 9:22 am

    Dorian—

    You have the best representatives

  17. Another Mike says:

    McDowell (ugh)
    Kovach
    Cartier

    DD, ur right, I just checked the map.

    Damn, I hate the 4th district, it’s a freaking jigsaw puzzle piece.

  19. Mike Mahaffie says:
    March 5, 2009 at 9:29 am

    Sen. Gary Simpson and Rep. Joe Booth. The Lewes Mayor is Jim Ford and the council (all at-large) is Ted Becker, Barbara Vaughn, Stephanie Tsantes and Vic Letanoff (I may be confusing him with his son… my age showing).

    Update: Just checked. I was right. But I doubted myself.

  20. Dorian Gray says:

    DD – Yeah, I must say my state rep and senator are a sense of pride for me. I live in a nice liberal college town!!

  21. Dana says:

    My state senator’s seat is vacant; Senator Rhodes died in an automobile accident. My State Representative is Keith McCall. The Mayor is Tom Copher, and “my” councilman id Brad Yaich.

  22. PBaumbach says:

    Senator Liane Sorenson, Rep Terry Schooley, County Council Lisa Diller, City Council Paul Pomeroy

    If you don’t know, go to http://www.votesmart.org and enter your nine digit zip at the upper left

    (I did know my reps without that.)

  23. Rebecca says:
    March 5, 2009 at 9:55 am

    That would be Joe Miro (R) in the House, Liane Sorenson (R) in the Senate, and Bill Tansey (R) on NCCo Council. How the heck did I land in Republican land? I even ran against Miro last year and still no joy. I’ve been told this is the most Republican niche in the entire state. There aren’t any really rich people here, just a bunch of wannabes! Who are turning into used-to-bes. ;o)

    DG in #14 hit on something, intentional or not. All of us in NCCo are overlooking Penrose South-of-the-Canal’ers-are-racists-and-will-take-WFH-whether-they-like-it-or-not Hollins as our at-large Councilman.

  25. Dorian Gray says:
    March 5, 2009 at 10:15 am

    I can assure you it was completely unintentional… for one thing I don’t know what you’re talking about. 🙂 But it sounds good… very esoteric… but interesting…

  26. meatball says:

    Simpson, Booth, Deaver. I don’t live in town. My Clerk of the Peace is crazy George Parish.

  27. RSmitty says:
    March 5, 2009 at 10:21 am

    Esoteric? It used to be, anyway, until the SNCCA blew it wide open. Geek has spoken volumes on the topic here (as has Nancy Willing and kavips).

  28. JohnnyX says:

    I am proud, I was able to pull this one off pretty easily:

    Senator: Dori Connor
    Rep: Mike Mulrooney
    Council: Ding dong, er…I mean…Bell

  29. Susan Regis Collins says:

    Hairy ‘Biggest Dickhead in Dover’ McDufuss

    Gerry ‘My skin color is Irish–not alcohol’ Brady

    Jea ‘I don’t like Pits or any dogs’ Street

    Paul ‘Nothing tonight Mr. President’ Ignudo

    That was easy….ask us one thing these jokers have done for us since they took office.

  30. El Somnambulo says:

    Bryon Short
    Cathy Cloutier
    John Cartier.

    Didn’t have to look anything up.

  31. Nooneimportant says:

    Senator Sokola, Rep. Miro (next time Rebecca!), Councilman Sheldon–

  32. anon says:
    March 5, 2009 at 11:58 am

    Sen. Gary Simpson (R-Milford), Rep. George Carey (R-Milford) and County Councilwoman Joan Deaver (D-Lewes).

    pollingplace.delaware.gov will give you your state legislative districts, at least, which will give you a clue to looking up your legislators.

  33. Mike Mahaffie says:
    March 5, 2009 at 1:43 pm

    Foolish of me to forget Joan Deaver for me as well. I was thinking state and city, not state, county and city.

  34. anon says:
    March 5, 2009 at 3:20 pm

    Shit, Mike, don’t apologize – you got the entire town council!

  35. Brian Shields says:
    March 5, 2009 at 3:40 pm

    Robert Venables, Danny Short, Mike Vincent.

    Have emailed two out of the three, not sure if Venables, or his dog know how to operate a computer.

  36. Suzanne says:
    March 5, 2009 at 9:45 pm

    State Representative: DAVE WILSON
    State Senator: THURMAN ADAMS
    Councilman: SAM WILSON

    Yeah, I am screwed, I know…

    I expected to find a few comforting words here today when I logged in – but I see how you all are…what does a girl have to do to get some comfort in her misery?
    Of course, it could always be worse – Protack could be living around the corner or something.
    I am just kdding, of coure — well, with wanting comfort, I mean.

  38. cassandra_m says:

    We are sorry Suzanne. When I read your comment yesterday, I thought that we needed to help you get your own liberal elites down there…. 😉
