Rep. Trey Paradee To Seek Brian Bushweller’s Senate Seat
And, while I’m not his biggest fan, he probably represents a little bit of a progressive upgrade over Bushweller. He at least strongly supports a minimum wage increase. According to this Delaware State News article, Kent County Levy Court Commissioner Allan Angel is also considering the race. The 17th Senatorial District currently has 16060 D’s; […]

Most Deranged Trump Performance Ever. That Puerto Rican appearance was terrifying. All he cared about was claiming that he got ‘high marks’ for the great job he’s done.
