State Senator and President Pro Tem Patti Blevins (D-Elsmere) has endorsed her down Kirkwood Highway colleague State Senator Bryan Townsend today.
“From day one in Dover, Bryan has shown a keen intellect for understanding complicated issues and an incredible work ethic to secure solutions to them. Strong leaders know when to stand up and fight, but they also know when it’s time to work as part of a broader team to get things done. It’s that temperament and commitment to solutions that make me proud to endorse Bryan Townsend as Delaware’s next congressperson.” – Senator Patti Blevins
Townsend: “I am honored that today Senator Patti Blevins, President Pro Tempore of the Delaware State Senate, is endorsing my campaign for Congress and has offered such kind words about my legislative service in the Senate.”
This may not seem like a rather large deal, given that they are fellow upstate Democratic Senators. But Blevins is a further signal that the Dem Establishment is lining up behind Townsend now that their favorite, Bryon Short, is out. So in that case it is.
