The teachers union in Delaware endorses both Democrats in primary governor’s race.

From WBOC-TV:

The executive board of the state teachers union has endorsed both Democrats running for governor.

It’s the first time the Delaware State Education Association has endorsed two people in the same party’s primary.

The union, which claims 11,500 members statewide, announced Monday that it endorsed both Lt. Gov. John Carney Jr. and state Treasurer Jack Markell.

A DSEA spokeswoman says the vote of the 26-member board was not unanimous, but in the end, members knew they wanted a Democrat to be governor.

In the lieutenant governor’s race, the union gave Democratic Insurance Commissioner Matt Denn their nod over Republican Senate Minority Leader Charles Copeland.
