Lt. Governor Bethany Hall-Long announces candidacy for Governor

DELAWARE – Lieutenant Governor Bethany Hall-Long has announced her candidacy for Governor of Delaware.

Hall-Long previously served in the State House and State Senate before being elected Lieutenant Governor in 2016. She has spent her entire career as a nurse, including teaching at the University of Delaware.

“As a nurse, mom, and proud Delawarean, I’m running for Governor to make Delaware the best place to live, work, and raise a family,” said Bethany Hall-Long. “There’s work to do to improve access to health care, create good-paying jobs, protect our rights, and strengthen our education system – and I’m up for the challenge, because when you give a nurse a job — that job gets done.”

Hall-Long is a Sussex County native, and she and her husband Dana have raised their son Brock in Middletown, Delaware, which she represented in the State House and State Senate. She has always been a champion for working families in the state and a national leader on improving access to healthcare. She was an early leader in the fight for paid family and medical leave.
