The 2020 election cycle is now in full swing.
As part of our election coverage, Delaware Public Media is offering a series a Candidate Conversations - including in the race for the First State's lone U.S. House seat.
We’ve reached out to all candidates that have filed to run in the races for U.S. House and U.S. Senate, as well as the races for state Governor, Lt. Governor and Insurance Commissioner and invited them to sit down with us. Candidates in each race are being asked about the same series of topics to allow you to get to know then and compare them.
The 2020 race for U.S. House features 4 candidates challenging the incumbent, Democrat Lisa Blunt Rochester.
Candidate Conversations are part of Delaware Debates 2020, a collaboration between Delaware Public Media and the University of Delaware's Center for Political Communication.
