And it works too! Just look at what they’ve done in Delaware. This sends an undeniable message to move left and focus on working families. A Republican winning sends the opposite message. That’s the calculus 3/ whyy.org/articles/delaware-e…

If you want to break a duopoly, getting on ballots isn’t enough. You need to recruit a base that exists outside of election cycles. This is why I love @WorkingFamilies model. They have strategically targeted key states and races with a long term goal of national viability. 2/

What a night! Here are our primary victories and what they mean for Delaware’s future. Up first, Kamela Smith defeated Speaker Val Longhurst, who was in office since 2004 and part of leadership for over a decade. This victory will represent a huge change in how Dover works.
Kamela Smith Wins!

In ways that even I don't fully know, and may come out more now that people don't have to be afraid, Val Longhurst was a massive bully. She threatened people, fired people, withheld support and funding to get her way. And yesterday showed that this style of politics doesn't win.

RESULT, and a big one, in Delaware during the debate: Delaware's state Speaker has lost her reelection bid in the Democratic primary tonight, to a progressive challenger endorsed by the Working Families Party. Kamela Smith beats Speaker Valerie Longhurst by roughly 6%.

Ever wonder why nearly half the House Democratic caucus endorsed Bethany Hall-Long? It's because Longhurst was twisting arms behind closed doors. Now, it looks like Hall-Long was breaking the law and covering it up. What did Val Longhurst know and when did she know it?

For the last 20 years, Val Longhurst has been a pillar of status quo politics in Delaware. Since joining House leadership in 2008, Longhurst has worked with special interests to halt legislation that would help working families.

I am incredibly perturbed by the fact that we were promised adequate time to deliberate on substantive bills coming from the CLC earlier in session & yet here we are again. SB313 will likely be fast tracked through the Senate when we get back on June 12. 🧵 1/ – at Delaware, USA
