Delaware Liberal endorses two newcomers and one fearless progressive incumbent in their respective primaries.
Rep. Sean Lynn is a progressive treasure in Dover. Name the issue and he fights on behalf of those who the Delaware Way insiders routinely ignore. He remains impervious to the pervasive good ol’ boys’ culture that permeates Leg Hall. He doesn’t hesitate to endorse and campaign on behalf of progressive candidates like Kerri Harris and Chris Johnson. If you like John Kowalko, you should strongly support his downstate soulmate as he seeks reelection in RD 31. We do, and we do.
Tizzy Lockman has run one of the best grassroots legislative campaigns that I have ever seen. An unfailingly positive campaign. She has demonstrated throughout her campaign an incisive inclusiveness that bodes well for the immediate impact she can have in Dover. Under other circumstances, Jordan Hines would be worthy of consideration, and it’s not a reflection on him that he is not our choice. Lockman has demonstrated the potential to shake up an ossified D Caucus. A caucus, BTW, that is changing, and may well experience a seismic shift in 2020. She is prepared not only to serve, but to lead. And she is the best choice for SD 3, the most diverse senatorial district in the State.
“Sometimes you add by subtracting.” Those words from former major league manager Gene Mauch certainly apply to the contest for the 1st Rep. District seat, currently held by the ethically-challenged Charles Potter. What a family. Charles, Velda and former mayor Dennis P. Williams. Feeding at the public trough only begins to tell their story. The other part of the story is ineptitude. You know, stuff like this. And the entire mayoralty of Dennis P. Williams. Oh, and votes that don’t represent his constituency. Like his vote against marriage equality. Nnamdi Chukwuocha represents a step up from Potter. No, not necessarily someone who will reform Dover. But someone free of the stench of the Potters and with a strong background in social work. Based on his Twitter page, he is running an aggressive campaign, and he has a lot of endorsements, which can be both a plus and a minus. Gotta say it’s surprising to see both Senators McDowell and Henry endorsing a challenger. The momentum appears to be with him. Keep it going and send Charles Potter back to the private sector.
