Sen. Liane Sorenson (R-Hockessin) has just announced in Dover that she will not run for reelection to the Delaware State Senate, according to reliable sources.
Sorenson and Dave Sokola had been placed in the same district by Tony DeLuca after both Sorenson and Sokola opposed DeLuca for President Pro Tempore of the Delaware State Senate.
Sorenson’s retirement is a real loss for progressives, as she has had one of the most estimable voting and sponsorship records in Dover.
It is also, however, a likely death knell for any hopes that R’s had of taking over the Senate chamber.
I would love to see Gov. Markell nominate Liane for a key position in his administration. The State of Delaware cannot afford to lose the likes of her.
More information as I get it.
