The stage has been set for the campaign for Joe Booth’s House seat. Sussex County Republicans on Sunday picked county Realtors association executive Ruth Briggs King to run against Democrat Rob Robinson, a public defender.
Briggs King was selected from a field of six candidates for the 37th House District nomination that included a former New Castle County councilman and a Georgetown Town Council member.
“I’m very honored and humbled to be carrying the banner,” Briggs King said.
It will be her second bid for the House; she lost a primary campaign for the old 41st District seat in 2000. She also was one of several candidates considered for the GOP nomination for the 19th Senatorial District special election, which Booth won last week.
