“Dude,” writing about why Bryan Townsend should be primaried, posted this comment under El Som’s top 5 2026 targets. Because Townsend’s seat isn’t up until 2028, I’m reposting it here, because people should know that Bryan Townsend, like so many Delaware Democrats, is liberal as all hell when it comes to social issues, but when it gets down to the economic nitty-gritty he’s exactly what you’d expect a corporate lawyer to be: A toady for whoever coughs up enough dough.
Dude’s comment:
Townsend said that the final draft of the bill was written by John Mark Zeberkiewicz, a corporate lawyer at Wilmington’s largest law firm Richards, Layton & Finger, which is representing Tesla in Delaware lawsuits. Zeberkiewicz is a member of the Council who has previously drafted changes to the state corporate law.
Richards, Layton & Finger confirmed their involvement in the drafting of SB 21 on Tuesday, but spokeswoman Laura Rossi said “the process was not on behalf of or otherwise influenced by any firm client.”
Allow me add that Laura Rossi is full of shit, and so is Bryan Townsend.
