“We are kings of our bikes. So, we are again really lucky to live in Rehoboth, when we park a car, we have to get back into the car. We can hop on our bikes and our ritual is that we are always biking from our home to L(ewe)s. We do a little bit of walking around, a little bit of margarita, a little bit of good food – there’s amazing food then bike right back. So the ritual, on our bikes, every chance we can, any place we can go, and eliminate the cars.”–Dan Cruce.
I’m pretty sure that the weather slowed down activity this week. But we have a couple of noteworthy items to address.
1. It’s on—Griffith vs. Bahnsen in RD 12. (Psychiatric) Doctor Rob Bahnsen vs. (Richards, Layton & Finger’s favorite) Lawyer Krista Griffith. Needless to say, money will be no object. RD 12 includes westernmost Brandywine Hundred, a significant portion of Chateau Country, and even dips into some of Wilmington’s tonier neighborhoods, thanks to the most recent redistricting. This race is a Democratic primary, with the winner the heavy favorite going into the fall. I make Bahnsen the favorite until/unless I see a strong grassroots effort from Griffith’s team. Still, the Delaware Way members of the House D caucus will certainly be supporting Griffith. Both candidates have now qualified for the primary ballot.
2. R Files For Rae Moore’s Seat. One Gary Taylor. based on my hasty search of the intertubes, I think that he’s a Veteran and may, or may not, be a mortgage broker. Breaking News: I’m WRONG. He’s an ex-cop who looks to be making a quick jump to the General Assembly. He touts ‘30-plus years in law enforcement’. Guess that everything old is new again. Moore has made some enemies in the Caucus, but they’re righteous enemies–The Speaker Of The House and Kim Williams. She won reelection against R Chris Beronio in 2024, 58-42. In 2022, she defeated R David Thomas by a similar margin. Unless the Mean Girls try to gin up a D primary, I look for a similar result this year.
That’s all I’ve got. What’d I miss, and whaddayathink?
