1. Sarah McBride Is On The Ballot. With her astounding fundraising, I can’t imagine a serious challenger against her in the Democratic Primary for the 1st Senatorial District. I can’t say for sure, but she must’ve broken every record for initial fundraising in a Delaware legislative race. It will be intriguing to see how she uses that literal political capital.
2. This Luann D’Agostino Just Might Give Mike Smith A Run For His Money. I hadn’t heard of her, couldn’t find out anything about her. Maybe b/c I was searching for Louise D’Agostino instead of Luann D’Agostino. But her website has gone up, and she is an impressive candidate. For those who say that Mike Smith is doing great on constituent services, and that there’s no way he can lose in RD 22, any Republican who is running outside of Jesusland can lose this time. The numbers trend more D in the district every month, Trump isn’t gonna come close to winning this district, and the voters who are coming out come out to defeat Trump aren’t gonna cross over to vote for an R state rep. He’s still the favorite, but he’s not inevitable.
3. Ciro Poppiti Files, Will Face Karen Hartley-Nagle For County Council President. He’s competent. She’s not. He seems relatively stable. She doesn’t.
4. Matt Meyer Files For Reelection As New Castle County Executive. Sure he’s made a few missteps. But after the corruption and bungling incompetence of the previous two NCC Executives, he’s a breath of fresh air. And he’s well-meaning.
5. Filings. Wilmington City Council members Michelle Harlee and Zanthia Oliver, both D’s, filed for reelection.
That’s it for this week, granted a slow week. What’d I miss, and whaddayathink?
