The New Castle County Democratic Party yesterday announced its endorsement of Mitch Crane in the Democratic Primary for Insurance Commissioner. This is a surprise to me, as I had heard that Karen might have had some support among their ranks. At best, I expected a non-endorsement.
For his part, Mitch Crane issued a statement upon learning of the endorsement:
“I am humbled to have earned the support of the New Castle County Democratic Party. I look forward to working with them to return the Department of Insurance to the consumer oriented office it once was.”
I don’t want to get ahead of things here, but it looks like Democratic Primary voters might see through the very transparent efforts to divide the anti-Karen vote, and of course, Mitch Crane has certainly done his part in convincing voters that he is the best one for the job.
