BREAKING: Matt Meyer wins Democratic nomination for Del. Governor

DELAWARE – The Associated Press has called the Democratic race for Delaware Governor in favor of Matt Meyer.

Meyer beat out Bethany Hall-Long and Collin O’Mara.

Following his win Tuesday evening, Meyer expressed deep gratitude to those who have stood by his campaign and believed in his vision. He said, “To each of you – thank you for never losing faith, never losing hope, and never stopping in your work to turn the tide in favor of the public interest, not special interests.”

“Tonight is just the beginning of this movement. Whether you were with us in this primary or not, if you believe in our state’s great promise and potential, if you believe that our kids deserve the best possible public schools, that families deserve every chance at a job that provides economic security, that our environment demands protections to ensure that Delaware remains a beautiful place for those families to prosper, that housing must be safe and affordable for all—if you believe we in Delaware can do better, welcome aboard. Let’s get to work,” Meyer added.

He will now face Mike Ramone in the General Election in November.
