I wasn’t sure if the NJ would even endorse this year given that the field never winnowed. But between the debates they sponsored and the poll they did on this race, the NJ did a good job n trying to engage the community outside of their pages. But the News Journal officially endorsed Eugene Young for Mayor of Wilmington. Go read their entire endorsement.
Wilmington does not need, nor should it expect, its next mayor to have all of the answers. Rather, the city and its residents need somebody who will build bridges, working tirelessly to unite neighborhood, business, non-profit, educational and law enforcement interests under a singular vision: To make Wilmington a safe and prosperous community for all residents.
Ask yourself this: Which candidate will bring a truly fresh perspective and new energy toward leading our city?
We believe Eugene Young is the only one of the Democratic candidates who fits that bill.
In this very fragmented mayoral race, one in which a hundred votes one way or another could tip the scales, it is critical that voters who sincerely want a better Wilmington unite behind Young.
That’s about as far as fair use will let me go, but I’m glad that they see his unique set of experiences as a way to start the rebirth of Wilmington. I certainly see that and is why I already voted for him.
The future of our city depends on your vote for Eugene next Tuesday. Now is our time!
