Chadderdon – Senate Majority Caucus Chief of Staff
I’m sure El Som will have more on the implications – but Chadderdon is widely regarded as a Democrat who gets it. This is good news for people who want Democrats to act like Democrats.
DOVER – The Delaware Senate Majority Caucus on Tuesday announced the hiring of Jesse Chadderdon as its next chief of staff.
As a former communications director for the Senate Majority Caucus and the current executive director of the Delaware Democratic Party, Chadderdon brings a wealth of experience and knowledge to the newly expanded caucus.
“Jesse has the experience and knowledge needed to step in quickly and guide our operations through these challenging times,” President Pro Tempore-Elect David Sokola said. “He has proven himself to be a capable leader time and time again, and I am thrilled he will be re-joining us for the start of 151st General Assembly and this new direction for the Delaware State Senate.”
Omigod, this is absolutely INCREDIBLE news. Jesse and Erik were a team.
If anything, Jesse was more relentless in pushing for change than even Erik was.
They literally could not have picked anybody better.
BTW, Chadderdon replaces Debra Allen, who is/was Tony DeLuca’s…you know.
To this day, the records of her, pardon the expression, double-dipping in DeLuca’s office at the Department of Labor while also working for the Senate remain sealed. You know, personnel records are confidential. Meaning that so is the fraudulent collecting of two salaries when it was physically impossible to have worked two jobs spontaneously.
That McBride and Poore elevated her to this position tells you all you need to know about why they both had to be excised from leadership.
Found a news story on it, though it seems to pretty much just cover the press release above (well, in addition to apparent news about another personnel change) https://delawarestatenews.net/government/legislature-announces-two-personnel-moves-including-retirement-of-chief-fiscal-analyst/
A much better story is hidden in that link: Remember when Bernard Brady retired as Secretary of the Senate in 2018? He was so well-liked that elected officials donated their own money, a total of more than $2,790, to give him a farewell gift of a trip to Ireland.
The money was collected by a woman in the comptroller’s office, who has now been charged with keeping that money and then bouncing a check when she tried to make restitution:

Everyone loves Bernard Brady, including me. This woman must be universally despised.
It’s been 2 years ,any update ?
I imagine it’s been settled in-house. But I don’t know.
Fun fact Bernard is a distant cousin his brother is just distant:)
Great news. Jesse is the best and perfect fit .
