Delaware Political Weekly: March 11-17, 2022
While there wasn’t much action this week, there is/was one potentially encouraging event. Here it is:
1. D Cyndie Romer Files Campaign Committee For RD 25. No, she hasn’t filed for the ballot yet. But she appears to be a very worthy possible successor to John Kowalko. First, here is her LinkedIn profile. What impresses me, though, is that, when you read through her social media, she is fiercely involved in supporting minority businesses, and calls out racism in all its forms. She has spoken in favor of police refoms before the General Assembly. She has been a strong ally of Moms Against Racism and the Hispanic American Association Of Delaware. She also was part of the Back To Blue movement in 2020. On paper, I can’t imagine a more worthy successor to Rep. Kowalko. Does anybody know her? What do you think? My first thought: I’m psyched!
2. R Lyndon Yearick Files For Reelection In RD 34. Courtesy of the Delaware State News. Hasn’t shown up on the Delaware Elections site yet, which is often a day behind. Perhaps this is all you need to know: He is a ‘(g)raduate of the Central Delaware Chamber of Commerce’s Leadership Program’.
That’s all I’ve got. What’d I miss, and whaddayathink?
Wow! Cyndie is an AWESOME candidate! I’m friends with her on Facebook and have been in some Newark Branch NAACP meetings with her (I need to get my attendance back up there!) and she’s definitely a vibrant and dynamic woman who would be an absolutely worthy successor to Rep. Kowalko on all matters related to social justice and economic fairness for the poor and working class.
I can’t imagine someone stronger than Cyndie running for this seat. I’ll keep an open mind, but I’d be hard-pressed to support someone other than Cyndie.
Woo-hoo! Coming from you, that’s really exciting. Was HOPING to hear that kind of endorsement.
For some reason, the Department of Elections waited until today to upload a bunch of filings from earlier this week. Here they are:
R Senator Colin Bonini: SD 16
R Rep. Jeff Spiegelman: RD 6
D NCC Register Of Wills Ciro Poppiti
D Kent County Sheriff Brian Lewis
Also, Christopher Gore exorcised himself from the ballot as a D in SD 14, as heads were spinning following his entry into the race.
