Carper beset on all sides by the LGBTQs
With all his overheated calls to “decrease the regulatory burden” on banks and other small businesses,I had no idea that Gene Truono was openly gay.
A gay Republican and a lesbian Democrat are running to unseat Democratic Delaware Sen. Tom Carper.
Eugene Truono, 59, a former chief compliance officer for PayPal, is the sole GOP candidate at this point. His primary opponent on Sept. 6 was Republican Chuck Boyce, 49, a small-business owner, but Boyce ended his candidacy March 1 after citing unspecified health concerns.
Running against Carper in the Democratic primary is Kerri Harris, 38, a U.S. Air Force veteran, civil-rights activist and mother of two. Harris, co-founder of the Delaware Civil Rights Coalition, announced her candidacy on Feb. 10.If Truono wins, he would become the first openly gay Republican to win elected office in Delaware.
If Harris wins, she’d be the first biracial lesbian elected to Congress.
So glad you pointed this out. It proves the point that identity doesn’t matter.
Trouno is our own personal Peter Thiel. Horrible tech entrepreneurs with libertarian mindset. Garbage people.
Sexual orientation is besides the point. Totally irrelevant.
If Truono wins, he would be the first openly gay republican to win statewide.
John Brady won a Sussex County row seat as a republican years ago.
