Well, That’s Another Start
As you will all remember, in 2008, the Delaware Democratic Party got itself into a little bit of a jam when it not only endorsed but financially support former Lt. Governor John Carney in his primary battle with then State Treasurer Jack Markell. To avoid a future row over the party getting involved in intra party primary battles, it is asking each Representative District Comittee to vote on the issue.
Last night, the 38th RD in Sussex County voted not to endorse in a primary.
And here is a little ancedote on John Carney’s fundraising in Sussex County. It was also announced last night that John Carney is hosting a fundraiser at the Cripple Creek Country Club on May 2nd, and he already has 10 “hosts” each signing on at $300 a pop ($3,000), so Carney is on pace to raise a lot of money, at least in the 38th.
Have we seen Carney’s 1Q numbers yet? He’s going to need a lot of money to take on a self-funder like Rollins.
Not yet.
Carney has been raising a lot of money down here. His fundraiser earlier this winter in Georgetown pulled in $15K – not bad at $50 a ticket.
The 14th RD did not vote on the matter at its meeting last night, although it was discussed.
GO JOHN GO!
