Mike Ramone

Delaware House Minority Leader Mike Ramone, the party-endorsed Republican vying to be the state’s next governor, is proud of his multiple, and sometimes controversial, businesses and investments.

At candidate forums, in campaign literature, and in interviews, he frequently points to his ventures – including a swim club and property management companies – as the reason he believes he has the skills to be an effective governor.

Ramone also appears proud of his ability to veer outside of conservative orthodoxy, highlighted at recent political debates where he expressed support for legal abortions and for higher salaries for public school teachers.

Bobby Williamson

Lifelong Bridgeville resident Bobby Williamson filed for candidacy on July 2.

Williamson, who describes himself as a small businessman, “not a career politician,” said he would advocate for a “reinstitution” of regulations on the construction and small business industry; protect “children and parental rights, the churches’ ability to exist, and a proper education,” according to his campaign website.

He also supports preservation and wants to ensure that Delaware doesn’t become “an annex to California,” his campaign touts.
