In a pivotal gubernatorial election, Democrats aim to maintain their longstanding dominance over Delaware's highest office. On Tuesday, voters will decide whether to elect Democrat Matt Meyer or Republican contender Michael Ramone, whose campaign promises to introduce political equilibrium to the state's predominantly Democratic government.
Meyer, Delaware's New Castle County Executive, stands committed to increasing support for public schools, while Ramone, the state House minority leader, champions performance-based teacher incentives and classroom-centric reforms. This difference in educational priorities marks a significant campaign battleground between the candidates.
As outgoing Democratic Governor John Carney eyes Wilmington's mayoralty, the upcoming election might shift Delaware's political landscape, with Ramone advocating for bipartisan cooperation, even as the state's voter registration trends heavily favor Democrats.
