Pete’s Park City Pick Approved

DOVER — Amidst questions about lieutenant governor candidate Kathy McGuiness’ eligibility, the Department of Elections has ruled she meets the residency requirement and thus is able to run for office.

The Delaware Constitution mandates the lieutenant governor must be a resident of the state for 12 years, the last six consecutively before the election. Ms. McGuiness, a Rehoboth Beach resident and one of six Democrats currently running for the office, has maintained an address in Delaware for her entire life, but she also had a condominium in Park City, Utah, and had voted there and obtained a Utah driver’s license.
