This is the press release that went out this morning (7/10/09):

"The Libertarian Party of Delaware is proud to announce that Gwendolyn (Wendy) Jones will run for the 19th Senate District in the special election to be held August 3rd on the Libertarian Party ticket. Wendy is looking forward to representing the people of the 19th District and bringing a new spirit of liberty to Legislative Hall.

"An active member of the Libertarian Party for almost 20 years, Wendy is a member of the LPD Executive Committee and currently serves as the LPD Sussex County Secretary. She is a strong supporter of individual rights and, as a long time small business owner, will work to restore free-market entrepreneurship, creating jobs for Delawareans. Her support of the Second Amendment is evidenced by being an NRA member for about 25 years, currently holding a Life-Endowment level membership. She is also a Gun Owners of America member and she is the Delaware representative for Pink Pistols. She carries a well worn copy of the U.S. Constitution which will be her guide in Dover.

"A Milton resident since 2001, Wendy has spent her spare time giving back to her community, mentoring at H.O. Brittingham Elementary School in Milton, and she is currently donating her professional driving services for Sussex County Mobility Consortium.

"Her official campaign website is http://www.DelawareLiberty.com"

The Sussex County group met Thursday evening and Wendy unanimously won the LPD nomination for the Delaware General Assembly seat formerly held by Senator Thurman Adams. Wendy represented the LPD on Tuesday evening at the Sussex County Community Organized Regiment's meeting in Oak Orchard in a debate-like forum with the Republican candidate. She was extremely effective in expressing her libertarian views, so much so that at least one of the officers of SCCOR has contacted her to help with her candidacy. The special election will be held August 3rd.
