Two New Democratic Candidates To Address 14th RD Democrats June 8
The next meeting of the 14th Representative District Democratic Committee will feature two newly announced candidates for state office. Civil rights attorney Dwayne Bensing has launched a primary bid for attorney general against incumbent Kathy Jennings. In addition, Mike Miller, a small business owner from Sussex County, has announced he’s running for state treasurer against two other Democratic contenders.
The program will begin at 5 p.m. on Monday, June 8, with a Dutch treat dinner, followed by remarks from the speakers at 6:00, and committee business at 6:30. All registered Democrats are welcome to participate, with the location of the event provided to those who
RSVP that they plan to attend by Sunday, June 7th, (for dinner/beverages or the speakers/business meeting only).
The legal director of the ACLU of Delaware, Bensing previously served in both the U.S. Department of Justice and the U.S. Department of Education’s Office for Civil Rights. He began his career as a middle-school teacher in Philadelphia with Teach for America before earning his law degree from Penn Law. In Delaware, his legal work has ranged from voting rights and education equity to prison conditions and police accountability.
A lifelong Delaware resident, Miller has more than 30 years of experience in business and accounting as owner of Miller’s Lawn Services and Tax-Man Accounting Services. He twice ran unsuccessfully for office as Democratic nominee for the U.S. House of Representatives. As a candidate for treasurer, he’s called for increasing transparency in state financial operations and making government more responsive to all Delawareans.
The June program is part of the 14th RD Democratic Committee’s continuing speaker series spotlighting Delaware candidates in the 2026 election. The group represents residents of Rehoboth Beach, Dewey Beach and southern Lewes. For further information, go to: 14thRDDelDems.com.
14th RD Democrats Endorse Rep. Claire Snyder-Hall
Rehoboth Beach, Del., May 18, 2026 – The 14th Representative District Democratic Committee has voted to endorse Rep. Claire Snyder-Hall, D-Rehoboth Beach, for reelection. The public support was given at its May 11 meeting, marking the group’s first endorsement of a Democratic candidate in the 2026 election.
Since her election to the General Assembly in 2024, Snyder-Hall has quickly emerged as a legislative leader and popular Democratic figure. Last year, she authored or co-sponsored more than 120 bills in areas ranging from reproductive health and marriage equality to public education and end-of-life options. She currently sits on seven House committees, including Economic Development, Health & Human Development, Natural Resources & Energy and Education.
The first woman to represent Delaware's 14th Representative District, Snyder-Hall began her career as a professor of political theory. She earned a PhD in political science from Rutgers University and, for twelve years, taught undergraduate and graduate students at George Mason University. Since moving to Delaware, she’s held positions as chair of the 14th RD Democratic Committee and executive director of Common Cause Delaware for five years.
In announcing the 14th RD’s endorsement, committee chair Mary Boggi remarked that the action will provide Snyder-Hall’s campaign with funding, publicity and grass-roots volunteers. “In her first term as our state representative, Claire demonstrated that she is an outstanding public servant who gets things done for our community,” says Boggi.
“Now she deserves our efforts to help her continue as a conscientious legislator and Democratic leader. We’re lucky to have her representing us in Dover.”
In accepting the endorsement, Snyder-Hall stated, “I am honored to have the endorsement of the 14th Representative District Democrats. Without the backing of what is one of the strongest Democratic committees in Delaware, I would not have been successful in winning my seat in 2024. Today I hope to continue serving the residents of Rehoboth Beach, Dewey Beach and southern Lewes.”
