Kristi and I have a son, and he’s been interested in politics since he was little. He got actively engaged in politics in college, and has knocked on doors in Illinois, Massachusetts, Maine and Michigan. He’s so proud that I’m running for a seat on the Lewes BPW.
The reason for this story is that he asked us what our plan was to vote in the recent presidential election. We thought it was a strange choice of words. He explained that having a plan to vote made it more certain people would go to the polls. So, in my son’s words, I hope you make a plan to vote this Saturday.

Lewes residents have an important choice to make this Saturday in our Lewes City Council election. I strongly believe Councilman Rob Morgan has earned re-election through his service to City of Lewes residents, experience, intelligence, transparency and due diligence in all subjects that come before council. Rob has consistently sided on behalf of the residents of Lewes, especially in development issues. Rob was the sole voice of dissent in questioning the annexation of the Brittingham Parcel on New Road, as he voiced concerns about the annexation zones, pushed forward by ex-council members, that would permit high-density townhomes on the banks of Canary Creek.

My wife Nancy and I would like to lend our support for Khalil (Karl) Saliba as a candidate for the Lewes City Council. Our family has known the Salibas (Dr. Anis, wife Sue, son Karl and sister Nada) for some 40 years. During that time, it was obvious that the foundation with which Karl was so fortunate to be raised in was one of inclusiveness, fairness and respect for all.
Ask anyone who may have spent time in Lewes and they will tell you that as it relates to the Salibas - everybody was somebody, and it did not matter if it was in his office, as a doctor, or in his and Sue’s home as a neighbor or friend.
