Bryan Shupe defend his seat against Patrick Smith, who narrowly lost to him by just 12 votes two years ago. With the primary on September 15, both candidates are locked in a fierce battle over how to tackle rising costs, job creation, and local representation. Shupe, with four terms under his belt, leans into social media to show constituents behind-the-scenes government work while pushing for tax cuts amid ballooning state spending. Smith, an IT professional and volunteer firefighter, accuses Shupe of inaction and vows to bring real change—especially in Sussex County—with a grassroots focus on housing, jobs, and public safety. He also criticizes Shupe’s partisan blame game, calling for bipartisan solutions on shared concerns like affordability and first responders. This could be another razor-thin race between experience and reform. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
