Eastern Sussex Democrats Meeting – Lewes

The Eastern Sussex Democrats will meet on  Wednesday, July 3 at the Lewes Library at 111 Adams Ave. in Lewes. Registration begins at 4:30.pm. The meeting begins at 5:00 pm and will feature incumbent RD 20 Representative Stell Parker-Selby and RD 14 candidates Claire Snyder- Hall and Kathy McGuiness.

Stell Parker-Selby was elected as the representative from RD 20 in 2022, flipping the seat from red to blue. Born in Milford and raised in Sussex County, Stell was a teacher and administrator in the Cape Henlopen School District and served on the school board after her retirement. She has also served on the boards of several local service organizations and Delaware State University.

Claire Snyder-Hall is running to represent the people of RD 14 in the Delaware state legislature. She wants to use the extensive network of relationships she has developed through her political work in Delaware over the last 13 years to benefit the district and help improve the quality of life in the First State. Claire was executive director of Common Cause – Delaware, a national, non-partisan, grassroots organization.

Kathy McGuiness was a Rehoboth Beach Commissioner before being elected State Auditor for one term in 2018 and a pharmacist from Rehoboth Beach who is also running for the RD 14 seat. McGuiness is running because “I believe they need a strong voice, someone that knows the area, knows the people, has seen the change, seen the growth. We’re going to have growth, but we must direct it, and it has to be responsible,” she said. “I believe we need someone who is there to help assist and do it in incremental phases in a positive manner.”

The cost is $25 per person for ESD members and $30 for non-members which includes a buffet dinner.  Pay in advance on this website http://www.easternsussexdemocrats.com
