DE-HD20: Days out from special election, Democrats spend big on Berry
As Democrats try to hold onto a legislative seat they narrowly won last year, the party’s fundraising machine is deploying its resources for Alonna Berry as she seeks to succeed former-Rep. Stell Parker Selby, who last month resigned from the Milton and Lewes-area district.
According to campaign finance reports, Berry’s campaign committee and Democratic-leaning political organizations have spent about $100,000 in less than a month in support of her effort to win the Aug. 5 special election.
The spending, which would be modest in many bigger states, is enough to blanket the small legislative district in campaign ads. It may also help Democrats rebuff criticism that they failed to be transparent about Parker Selby’s months-long absence from the legislature following a stroke late last year.
Nikki Miller, the Republican candidate, has spent a fraction of the amount of her rival – about $22,000 in July, according to her campaign finance reports.
