Delaware Congresswoman Lisa Blunt Rochester says she is running for the U.S. Senate seat being vacated by fellow Democrat Tom Carper.
DOVER, Delaware --
Blunt Rochester's announcement came as no surprise, given that Carper said in announcing his retirement last month that he favored her as his replacement. "It's been the greatest honor of my life to represent Delaware, to protect our seniors, our environment, our small businesses and women's reproductive rights," she said. "But we've got so much more to do."
The last time Delaware voters sent a Republican to Washington was 2008. Delaware remains a deeply blue state, with roughly 358,000 registered Democrats almost equaling the combined total of some 209,000 registered Republicans and 173,000 unaffiliated voters.
