In the ongoing election coverage by Delaware Public Media, Candidate Conversations offer voters a chance to get to know the candidates in statewide races. Recently, Republican candidate Ruth Briggs King, who is running for Lt. Governor, discussed her campaign. After serving 14 years in the state House of Representatives, she aims to transition to a statewide role.
On the Democratic side, Sherry Dorsey Walker, also running for Lt. Governor, shared her perspective in a Candidate Conversation. This marks her second bid for the position, having previously served in the state House of Representatives and on Wilmington City Council. Both candidates presented their goals and key issues they hope to address if elected.
Apart from the election coverage, Delaware Public Media also delved into the pressing issue of affordable housing in the state. With a significant shortage of housing units for median and low-income individuals, the affordability crisis continues to worsen. Rachel Stucker, the executive director of Housing Alliance Delaware, shed light on the challenges and reasons behind the rising housing costs in Delaware.
As the election season progresses, voters are encouraged to engage with the Candidate Conversations to gain insight into the candidates’ plans and visions for the state. Additionally, the discussion on affordable housing serves as a reminder of the critical issues facing Delaware and the importance of finding solutions to ensure access to affordable housing for all residents.
