Delaware Political Weekly: March 29-April 4, 2024

1. BHL AWOL. SOL?  She’s apparently trying to still raise money.  But, she’s been missing campaign events, including a Suxco Candidates’ Forum.   She also missed a recent event in the Ardens.  Both Meyer and O’Mara attended, as did a host of other candidates.  I think she’s in the death rattle phase of her campaign.  The numerous fundraisers is a ‘tell’.  She needs to raise money.  She’s not raising nearly enough online.  Physical fundraisers are expensive and require a lot of time to put together.  We saw pictures of the sparsely-attended event that Our PAL Val held for her in December.  Pretty much everybody in the picture were from the building/construction trades.  Not a lot of smiles.  Didn’t do much to help her year-end financial report either.  Meyer and O’Mara have plenty of money in the bank for the campaign.  She doesn’t.  She’s got two ‘virtual’ fundraisers set to try to activate a national network of nurses who, hopefully for her, haven’t read about her campaign finance three-card monte game.  BTW, while Carney hasn’t officially endorsed her, he’s doing weaselly behind-the-scenes stuff.  You know, like this from her Facebook page:

Thank you to Lt. Governor Bethany Hall-Long for promoting health resources in our community. The Health and Wellness Fair is a reminder to schedule your annual screenings and connect with the resources available in our community.
If you or someone you know is making a difference in the health and wellness space, nominate them for the Lt. Governor’s challenge by Monday, April 1. https://ltgovernorschallenge.org/how-to-nominate.
Come to think of it,  Carney is weaselly.  His non-endorsement endorsement of BHL. His endorsement of Eugene Young, which has nothing to do with Eugene Young.   Were it not for the Carper push for him to be Lt. Governor, Carney would be Sean Barney.  Actually, Carney never would have run for anything on his own.  An accidental politician.  A bad one at that.
Back to BHL.  What’s the over/under date on when she drops out?  To me, that’s the only remaining question.
2.  Well, Look Who Just Filed A PAC Committee.  Yep, the Delaware Healthcare Association.  Yes, it has everything to do with the possibility that their charges/costs could be reviewed by a public body.  Their state purpose:
Delaware Healthcare Association Political Action Committee (DHAPAC) represents healthcare executives in their role of promoting effective change in health services through collaboration and consensus.
Whatever you say.
3.  James Taylor Running Again In RD 2.  Presumably against Stephanie Bolden.  Once again, a missed opportunity.  His website doesn’t suck.  Hard to believe there isn’t a decent candidate anywhere to be found in this Wilmington district.  We don’t need an anti-progressive homophobe in Dover (‘You’re Not One Of Those Wokies, Are You?’), even if it means two more years of Bolden.
4.  Is Terrell Williams The New Dennis E. Williams?  Nothing against the guy, but does he have a plan to win, and/or why is he compelled to run every time around?  Decent, guy, decent platform, but he pretty much defines the term ‘history repeating itself’.  In 2020, he ran in a State Senatorial primary against incumbent Bruce Ennis and challenger Kyra Hoffner.  Finished third with 21.8%.  In 2022, challenged Kevin Hensley, got 44.1%.  Hey, maybe if Hensley doesn’t run, he might win.  Even Dennis E. Williams caught lightning in a bottle.  Briefly.
That’s all I’ve got for this belated report.  What’d I miss and whaddayathink?
