Yes, we have an outstanding candidate for State Auditor. One who is building some momentum.
I’ve been slow to recognize this development, but both Kevin Ohlandt and Blue Delaware have been on top of it. Mea culpa.
You just have to read the linked Ohlandt piece, which is great journalism. Turns out the reason that Kathleen Davies was put on ice in the Auditor’s office was b/c, wait for it, Wagner felt she was conducting too many audits of charter schools. Davies had her day in court and was totally vindicated. I also learned some new stuff about would-be careerist Kathy McGuiness in this piece.
Blue Delaware reports that both Delaware United and John Kowalko have endorsed Davies. Looks like Kim Williams won’t be far behind.
Yes, Davies is starting from way back. But McGuiness’ endorsement-based strategy has all the earmarks of Carney’s first campaign for governor. Support a mile wide and an inch deep. Davies has a shot. I’m jumping on board. She has already given us an indication of what she will do as auditor as she was aggressive as ‘acting auditor’, meaning whenever Wagner couldn’t be bothered to do his job. I like what I saw even though ‘Suspendered Disbelief’ didn’t.
BTW, if you have the time, head down to Democratic HQ on Thursday evening at 7 pm. 19 Commons Blvd. in New Castle. The candidates for auditor will participate in a forum sponsored by Progressive Democrats Of Delaware. I’ve gotta work, but, if you go, please check in with a report.
