Dismal turnout leads to Working Families Party wins

The Delaware Working Families Party won eight of the 13 Democratic primary races in which it endorsed candidates Tuesday. WFP-backed winners were Shay Frisby in Senate District 5; Michelle Booker in House District 2; Branden Fletcher-Dominguez in House District 3; Rae Krantz in House District 6; Sherae’a Moore in House District 8; Pamela Salaam in House District 16; Tyeisha Grier in House District 28; and Kira Alejandro in New Castle County Council District 3. Five of those victories came against incumbent lawmakers.

Five WFP-endorsed candidates lost. Adriana Bohm lost to Sen. Dan Cruce in Senate District 1; Shané Darby lost to Rep. Nnamdi Chukwuocha in House District 1; Keonna Watson lost to Sen. Nicole Poore in Senate District 12; Will Imbrie-Moore lost to Rep. Kim Williams in House District 19; and Syam Kosigi lost to New Castle County Councilwoman Valerie George in District 5.

Several of the WFP-backed primary winners still have another election ahead of them. Frisby will face Republican Brent Burdge and Independent Carolyn Frank in Senate District 5. Fletcher-Dominguez will face Republican Shawn Dottery and Independent “Dizzy” Bland in House District 3. Krantz will face Republican Tanya Hettler in House District 6, Salaam will face Republican Enala Mwash*tete in House District 16, and Alejandro will face Republican Melissa Brayman in New Castle County Council District 3. Booker, Moore and Grier do not have Republican challengers in the November general election.

The results came during a primary with low statewide participation. Unofficial figures showed 129,031 ballots cast compared with 593,286 registered voters, producing a statewide turnout figure of 21.75%. Nearly four out of every five registered Delaware voters did not cast a ballot in Tuesday’s primary. This turnout rate is lower than the 2024 22% turn out.

Soon, your misinformed neighbors will be throwing away compost gold. 🍂

Those leaves aren’t trash—they’re nature’s free fertilizer, helping build healthy soil while providing food and shelter for countless insects and wildlife.

Leave the leaves. Let nature do the work. 🌿🍁

How did everyone fare in last night’s storm? I lost a few big limbs but hope that’s the worst of it.
