AGP Executive Report
Last update: 2 hours agoHouse Leadership: Delaware Democrats kept Melissa Minor-Brown as speaker-elect, with Kerri Evelyn Harris staying majority leader and Cyndie Romer replacing Ed Osienski as whip. Minor-Brown defeated a challenge from Working Families Party-backed Madinah Wilson-Anton, an early test of the caucus’s post-election dynamics. Dover Accountability: A third-party report found Police Chief Thomas Johnson used his city vehicle for personal trips and did Pennsylvania State University work during city hours, violating city rules. It found no illegal conduct, citing the mayor’s permission, but faulted Dover for lacking clear written expectations. Tax Bills: New Castle County posted property tax bills shortly after Election Day; payments are due Dec. 31. County taxes rose under this year’s budget, and some school taxes are also increasing. Election Fallout: Democrats now hold two-thirds of both legislative chambers—30 of 41 House seats and 15 of 21 Senate seats—giving them enough votes to advance constitutional amendments without Republican support. They also swept statewide offices, while Sussex County voted Democratic for the first time since 2012.
