New Castle County Executive Matt Meyer Is Running For Governor

It's been announced that New Castle County Executive Matt Meyer Is Running For Governor. If you're unfamiliar with his work, we've done a little digging to summarize some of his accomplishments.

Matt Meyer first ran for office in 2016 when he was a middle school math teacher.

He led a lot of health and safety efforts during the height of Covid. Some of those efforts resulted in the state of Delaware being the first in the country to offer open, free COVID-19 saliva tests.

With Meyer's help, New Castle County created the largest full-service homeless shelter in state history, converting a 192 room three star hotel into the NCC Hope Center.

The Meyer Administration eliminated wasteful spending and created a rapid response JobsNow program. That program facilitated development projects with over 12,000 jobs.

Meyer and his staff also created a high school course on local democracy and public leadership.

Mr. Meyer is a graduate of Brown University and University of Michigan Law School. He grew up in Cardiff, attended Brandywine School Districts schools and graduated from Wilmington Friends School.

Matt Meyer has also historically been involved in several community projects including our annual Turkeython benefiting the Emmanuel Dining room at Ministry of Caring.

We wish New Castle County Executive Matt Meyer the best in his campaign.

These Are The 25 Best Public Schools In Delaware For 2023

In this country, under our current climate, education is at the forefront of importance and debate.  Parents are concerned now more than ever about student curriculum.  There is the ever growing concern with safety, as we see the number of school shootings and threats at a high.  As a parent myself, I know that choosing a school for your child is a daunting task, and not always a choice.

More and more families are choosing alternative options to public schools.  Some are sending their children to private schools or opting for online education.  However, this is not an option for all families with the rising costs and of course working parents who may not be home to assist in the online options.  Some families are even choosing to move to where to better schools are.
