As Governor, John Carney never forgot about the City of Wilmington. Over the last eight years, he has directed millions into Wilmington schools, into community centers, and neighborhoods across our largest city. He knows that for Delaware to succeed, Wilmington needs to be strong.
John Carney never brags about what he does – but he has made a real difference in our city. I’m proud to call the Governor a friend and support his candidacy to be our next Mayor. - Jea Street, New Castle County Councilman and longtime community advocate
I’ve known and worked with John Carney for a long time. During his time as Governor, he has fought relentlessly to improve schools for children in Wilmington. He fully funded the first new Wilmington school in decades, and directed more state resources to students who need our help the most. We have called for action on those issues for years, and it was John Carney who delivered.The bottom line is Governor Carney is not afraid to take on tough issues and stand up for what’s right. He’ll be a Mayor who gets results for families in the City of Wilmington.
As Governor, John delivered for the City of Wilmington. As Mayor, John will continue his work from his time as Governor and:
- Improve public education in city schools by working with state officials, school districts, and community leaders
- Prioritize expanding affordable housing in Wilmington
- Make sure the city has a strong, sustainable budget and protect taxpayer dollars
- Invest in small and minority-owned businesses across the city
