I encourage you to vote for Democratic party candidate Russ Huxtable for Delaware’s Senate District 6 seat. Huxtable was recently endorsed by the Delaware State Education Association; serving as our state senator, he will actively support the needs of our public schools. Huxtable has been very active in our local community, working to enhance the education and personal development of our young people. For over 10 years, he has served as a coach and teacher with Henlopen Soccer Club; he is also involved with the Lewes Base Ball Club. He attended public schools in New Castle County, he graduated from the University of Delaware, and his children currently attend Cape Henlopen School District. He knows the importance of a strong public education system.
I worked in the public education arena for 38 years. Based on my experiences and observations, I know that the Republican Party’s key actions relating to our education system have included promoting charter/private schools, denigrating teachers’ unions and banning books in public school libraries. This is not what the public schools of Delaware need. We need a senator who will serve as an advocate for our schools to ensure that they will be able to provide quality instruction and services for all students. The public school community, including parents, teachers, counselors, administrators, support staff and volunteers, represents a powerful voting bloc that can have a significant impact on the results of our upcoming election and determine who will represent us in the state Senate. Your vote in this race will make a difference!
Russ Huxtable is the best candidate to serve as our state senator for District 6.

Consider early in-person voting. It’s very easy and very convenient. Visit this site for details: elections.delaware.gov/index.shtml. Otherwise, get out and vote on Election Day on Nov. 8!
