How to read this. This page lists every candidate the Delaware Department of Elections shows for this office, in the state's own order, with the same fields for each person: party, filing status, filing date, and campaign website if the state lists one. We publish no home addresses or phone numbers, rank no one and endorse no one. The Department of Elections is the authority; if this page and the state list differ, the state is right and we fix this page. Read the method.
