A Very Special Delaware Edition Of The DL Open Thread: Monday, December 16, 2024
Rethugs Got Handed The SD 5 Seat. Turned It Down. Backwards reels the mind. Word on the street is that Cathy Cloutier sought the nomination for the post being vacated by Lt. Governor-Elect Kyle Evans Gay. She would have blown away the rumpled empty suit who D party insiders chose as the nominee. However, the […]
Join Me in Donating to Friendship House
Given the city of Wilmington’s war on the homeless and unhoused, my annual donation to Friendship House is needed more than ever, so I thought I’d try something here on Delaware Liberal that I used to do on my radio show when we raised money for the state’s food banks: I will donate $1,000 to […]
DL Exclusive: How Ray Seigfried’s Campaign Sought To Disenfranchise Caucus Voters…
…In fact, even threatened possible legal action if the County Democratic Party wouldn’t consider the grievance filed by one of Ray’s supporters. The grievance claimed that County rules should have prevented the seating of certain committee members in RD 7 in time for Monday’s caucus. The so-called ‘aggrieved party’ was not the candidate, but one […]

An Open Letter To All SD 5 Electors
On Monday evening, we will all gather to choose a Democratic nominee to succeed State Senator Kyle Evans Gay, who has been elected as Lieutenant Governor.

SD 1 Candidate Forum Open Thread
Figured I’d wait until tonight’s forum concluded. We heard from four of the nine candidates tonight: Adriana Leela Bohm, Dan Cruce, George Frankel and Chris Otto. The Zoom meeting was once again exceedingly well-done. A lot more questions tonight focused on education than was the case with the SD 5 forum earlier this week. Yes, […]

BREAKING: Spotlight Delaware Covers House NDA Story
From Nick Stonesifer. Before I link to excerpts, I really like how Spotlight Delaware places stories in context: Why Should Delaware Care? Non-disclosure agreements, or NDAs, have often been used by powerful individuals to keep unflattering or unethical behavior under wraps. A new report from Spotlight Delaware found Democratic leadership pushed staffers to sign NDAs […]
