Congressman John Carney pulled in more than $200-thousand at a fundraiser in Wilmington this week as he takes aim at the governor’s race.
The Delaware Democrat’s one night event at the Hotel du Pont in Wilmington included two major Democratic notables Governor Jack Markell and Attorney General Matt Denn.
In addition the First State’s two Senators Tom Carper and Chris Coons were also on hand.
The Wilmington News Journal reports that the big money and big Democratic names are expected to scare off any Democratic challengers.
The paper notes that the amount raised at the one event exceeds any for Markell’s own gubernatorial run in which he defeated Carney in the primary.
