Millsboro man announces campaign for U.S. Senate seat

Republicans For Sussex held their annual Big Tent Event fundraiser Aug. 27 at American Legion Post 28, Millsboro. Republican volunteers from Sussex County got together to enjoy local fried chicken, baked beans, macaroni salad and homemade Vanderwende’s ice cream. There were also silent auction items, such as a Blue Crab Feast and a T-37 airplane ride, to help raise money in support of local Republican candidates for the 2024 elections.

In attendance was Bill Taylor of Millsboro, who announced his candidacy for the U.S. Senate seat being vacated by retiring Sen. Tom Carper. Taylor is a native Delawarean and local businessman, owner of TMT Chassis, a metal fabrication company. Taylor announced he was jumping into politics to combat some of the goings-on he was seeing in his home state. One example is the outsourcing of American industries and goods that became apparent during the supply chain shortages experienced in the last few years, which affected his ability to operate his business.

Taylor is also one of two plaintiffs in a lawsuit filed against the State of Delaware and Attorney General Kathy Jennings, challenging the assault weapons ban for having no provisions to allow for classic or antique firearms. Taylor has a federal license as a Curios and Relics collector, which allows him to collect classic firearms. “They interfered with my business and my hobbies, and let me tell you, you just don’t do that, not in this country,” said Taylor.
