The gubernatorial candidates in Delaware appeared yesterday during a town hall at Delaware State University that focused on issues affecting the African American community.
Both Democratic Representative John Carney and Republican State Senate Colin Bonini said that there was a need for greater access to preschool and greater scrutiny of state government for systemic discrimination.
Both said the efforts were needed to deal with high unemployment rate in the community.
Bonini emphasized the creation of more charter schools to replace poor-performing school in Wilmington.
Meanwhile, Carney said the state needed to increase funding for low-income students.
The town hall was sponsored by the Delaware Faith in Action Council.
