The name is familiar to folks associated with Legislative Hall or Caesar Rodney’s Board of Education. Bill Bush filed to run for Trey Paradee’s seat in the 29th Representative district. Bush, who serves as a House of Representatives attorney, also has his own law firm. As well, he is the Vice-President of the Caesar Rodney School District Board of Education. Can the Democrat win?
He has no challengers… yet! I expect that to change in the coming months. Paradee usually had challengers for this seat so I don’t expect anything different this time. This is a seat that typically goes blue. Bush has a lot of clout in Dover and at Legislative Hall as a House Attorney. But many folks don’t want to see another “insider” at Legislative Hall and Dover Republicans are hungry for change. The 29th district includes parts of Wyoming, Dover, and Smyrna.
I’ve seen him in action down there. He knows his stuff and what they can and can’t do. I don’t always agree with him 100%, such as what happened with the opt out veto override. The way it all went down could have and should have been handled differently from a legal perspective. When State Rep. John Kowalko talked to Bush about bringing it up again at the end of the 148th General Assembly, it was found the procedural rules for the override should have been handled differently. But at the end of the day, there was no way in hell Speaker of the House Pete Schwartzkopf was going to let Kowalko do anything with it.
