Democrats and Republicans have settled on candidates for a New Castle County Council special election later this month.
Democrat Ken Woods and Republican Doug Suiter are seeking to fill the District 1 seat on council that is vacant following the death of Councilman Joseph Reda last month.
Reda had served on New Castle County Council since 2004.
Woods is a business representative for the Sheet Metal Workers' Union Local 19 and has been on the Red Clay School District School Board since 2008.
Suiter owns his own auto repair shop – General Automotive. He’s also been an arbitrator for the National Center for Dispute Settlement – which handles automobile manufacturers' warranty disputes – for 15 years.
The special election for the New Castle County Council District 1 seat is May 24th.
