I know two things: (a) she seems like a really good candidate on paper; and (b) Mike Matthews really likes her.
Hard to imagine a stronger successor to Kowalko, but it’s still early.
Cyndie Romer Launches Campaign for the 25th Representative District
(Newark, Delaware) – On Wednesday, March 30, 2022, Newark mom and community
advocate Cyndie Romer launched her campaign to become the next State
Representative for the 25th District.
An IT professional at Diamond Technologies, Romer is a working mother of two
teenagers, Leah and Megan. She and her husband have lived in Newark for nearly
twenty years, where they are both active in the community.
“I am passionate about creating strong schools that strive to serve every
student,” says Romer. “I serve as the parent lead for Newark Charter’s Equity
Champions Group. As a Newark Charter School parent, I am very proud of our
school, but I have also seen first-hand the inequities that exist in our school
district. We must lift up our public schools so that every child can receive a
world-class education.”
In addition to her education advocacy work, Romer is an active member of Moms
Demand Action and the Newark Branch of the NAACP. She is deeply passionate about
women’s issues, LGBTQ+ equality, criminal justice reform and true racial justice.Her candidacy comes just weeks after long-time legislator Representative John
Kowalko announced his retirement, creating a vacancy in the seat for the first time
since 2006.
Romer will be announcing a public, in-person kickoff event in the coming weeks. For
