With the Democratic and Republican conventions behind us and Tuesday's primary election, we are finally in the heart of election season. Given the seemingly interminable presidential primary process and the robust Democratic gubernatorial primary here in Delaware - it feels to many of us as though it has been election season for the past 18 months.
Tuesday, September 9 is the primary election. There are a number of key races for both parties. In the Democratic primary: Lt. Governor John Carney and State Treasurer Jack Markell are vying to be the candidate for governor. Gene Reed, Karen Weldin Stewart and Tom Savage are running to be their party's candidate for Insurance Commissioner. County Executive Chris Coons will face his predecessor Tom Gordon. County Council President Paul Clark will face civic activist Bill Dunn. Wilmington Mayor Jim Baker is contending with Robert Bovell; while Councilmen Theo Gregory and Norman Griffiths both run for city council president. There are also a number of legislative races on the primary ballot at the federal, state, county and local level. In the Republican primary for governor, former Superior Court Judge and prior Republican candidate Bill Lee will face Mike Protack.
