No DelDems Statewide Endorsements

After missing much of the last session due to health reasons, State Rep. Harold Peterman (R-33rd RD) somewhat surprisingly sought, and won, reelection. He first survived a primary challenge from Charles Postles by a 64.5 to 35.5 margin, and then defeated D John Kevin Robbins, 58-42.

Some people have a pathological need to run.  I don’t know why. (Well, actually, yes I do.  Every now and then, the stars align and one of these losers gets elected. Including Williams. And, uh, Karen Weldin Stewart, anyone?) Dennis E. Williams is one of those people.  No, he’s not running for Congress, his nascent candidacy apparently having died aborning.  Instead he’s gonna give the voters of the 10th Rep. District a chance to admit they were wrong when they threw Williams’ sorry ass out of the General Assembly in 2014.  Problem is, Sean Matthews proved the voters right.  Even with Pete & Val parking political operatives in the 10th to save one of their lackeys, Matthews defeated Williams by a 55-45 margin.  It will be much larger this time, but, hey, Dennis, thanks for the filing fee.  Although I now must dig into my pockets to send some $$’s Matthews’ way.  He is already one of the most valuable legislators we have in Dover, especially on education.
