Repubs pick Briggs King for the 37th.

Its a public defender versus a representative of manufactured housing park owners.

From the News Journal:

Ruth Briggs King was selected from a field of six candidates for the 37th House District [GOP] nomination that included a former New Castle County councilman and a Georgetown Town Council member. […]

It will be her second bid for the House; she lost a primary campaign for the old 41st District seat in 2000. She also was one of several candidates considered for the GOP nomination for the 19th Senatorial District special election, which Booth won last week.

Briggs King, 53, has been executive vice president of the Sussex County Association of Realtors since 2006. She previously served as executive director of the First State Manufactured Housing Association, which represents manufactured-housing park owners. She has a master’s degree in human-resources management. […]

Other Republicans under consideration for the nomination included conservative activist Eric Bodenweiser of Georgetown; Georgetown Councilman Brian Pettyjohn; former New Castle County Councilman Dick Cecil; Lewes Deputy Mayor Stephanie Tsantes, also a public defender; and Merrill Moore of Georgetown.

I will think I would have preferred the conservative activist, the one who somehow lost of the endorsement of Anderson. The election must be held in mid-September, but no actual date for the election has been set yet.
