State Senator Bryan Townsend stated today that he plans to seek reelection to the State Senate instead of mounting a race for Delaware Attorney General.
Two D’s who might seek to appeal to progressives are considering the race and will likely decide in the next few weeks. State Rep. Sean Lynn appears poised to run for the AG slot rather than seek reelection to the House. John Carney’s Deputy Legal Counsel Chris Johnson is seriously considering a run as well. There is some possibility that the two may come to a meeting of minds on who will run, but it’s by no means a likelihood.
Former Attorney General Charles Oberly is considering a run, and his recently-released report on solutions to the prison problems is, IMHO, a solid blueprint for moving forward. Former Tom Gordon ally and current FOP officer Tim Mullaney has already announced.
There could well be more. Someone is pushing for Ian McConnel on our blog and, while early signs were that McConnel would not run, he may be reconsidering.
I’ll talk more about this in tomorrow’s Political Weekly, but please feel free to talk about it today.
