The 2014 election cycle is now moving into full swing.
As part of our election coverage, Delaware Public Media is offering a series a Candidate Conversations. We’ve reached out to all candidates that have filed to run in a statewide race and invited them to sit down with us. Candidates in each race are being asked the same set of questions to allow you to get to know then and compare them.
In the race for US House, three candidates, Republican Rose Izzo, The Green Party's Bernard August and Libertarian Scott Gesty, are running to unseat two-term incumbent Democrat, Rep. John Carney. All three challengers also ran two years ago, with Izzo losing Tom Kovach in a Republican primary while August and Gesty each barely received more that one percent of the vote in losing to Carney in the November General election.
