7th Ward Democrats - Wilmington City Committee for DelDems

Today Delaware mourns the profound loss of a dedicated public servant, Mike Purzycki. In his service to New Castle County and as Mayor of the City of Wilmington, he brought to life a vision of opportunity, highlighting just how much this Tiny Wonder has to offer. His successes reflected the strength of our party and our shared dedication to moving the First State forward. His love for Delaware was unwavering and will remain a lasting part of his legacy as we come together to celebrate his life. We extend our sincerest condolences to his loved ones and all who had the privilege of knowing him during this difficult time.

Just because it's not making the headlines right now does not mean that our energy problem is over. Energy prices are still going up, and our neighbors need help.

Join me on MONDAY for an information session in collaboration with Delmarva Power! As one of the more popular energy providers in Delaware, I want you to hear directly from them about what's really contributing to the high costs we're seeing. They will also be available for discussions on how you can lower your energy bills.

I encourage you to come out and hear the facts!

⏰ Time: 6:00 PM - 8:00 PM
📍 Place: Latin American Community Center (403 N Van Buren St., Wilmington, DE. 19805)
