From CapeGazette:
Democrats and Republicans have moved quickly to nominate candidates to fill the vacancy created by the death June 23 of conservative Democrat Sen. Thurman Adams.
For almost 40 years, Adams of Bridgeville held the 19th Senatorial District seat. A towering presence in the Senate, he became president pro tempore in 2003.Democrats selected lifelong Bridgeville resident Democrat Eddy Parker to run against popular Rep. Joe Booth, R-Georgetown, nominated by the Republicans, in a special election for the seat that represents Bridgeville, Ellendale, Georgetown, Milton and an area north of Seaford known as Wesley Church.
