Sussex County, It’s Time to Step Up for Victory!
Let's get two Senate Special Election seats filled with solid GOP candidates in New Castle County

Special Elections for Senate Districts 1 and 5
WHY a special election?

Two Democrat State Senators ran for other government positions while two years still remained on their current terms.

WHY WE MUST WIN!!

Democrats have a SUPER MAJORITY in our Delaware Senate.  Currently only 6 of 21 Senators are Republican. 

WHEN?

Election Day: Saturday, February 15, 2025 - Polls will be open from 7am until 8pm

Early Voting Dates: Tuesday, February 4, 2025 through Thursday, February 13.

ALERT: Early voting is coming soon. Please volunteer NOW.

WHERE?

The two affected districts are both in Northern New Castle including areas such as Claymont, Brandywine Hundred, Forty Acres and Arden.

NOTE: Sussex County Residents are not eligible to vote in these special elections.

From Daniel Willis, Sussex GOP Chair

 

Our next challenge is here, and Sussex County, I know we’re ready to rise to the occasion. With the special elections for Senate Districts 1 and 5 on Saturday, February 15th, and early voting running from February 4–13, we have the opportunity to showcase the full strength, organization, and capability of Sussex County Republicans.

 

As many of you remember, the statewide support during the successful campaign of Valerie Jones-Giltner helped us secure an important victory. Now, it’s our turn to pay it forward and assist our Republican colleagues in New Castle County. This is not just a call to action—this is a real-life test of our readiness to organize and execute operations as we prepare for next year’s elections.

Let’s empower our base, rally our troops, and show the state what Sussex County Republicans can do. Whether you’re making calls, sending postcards, or texting voters, every effort matters in ensuring victory.

 

I look forward to hearing success stories from every RDC and EDC about their efforts. I’ll be right here alongside you, ready to support and help triage countywide operations. Together, we’ll push through to the finish line and celebrate another Republican victory.

 

Let’s make it happen, Sussex County. All hands on deck!
