"“We cannot solve the challenges we face today with yesterday's playbook,” Bensing said in a press release announcing his candidacy."
"Bensing made the announcement during the Delaware Stonewall PAC Spring Fundraiser in Rehoboth Beach. His campaign is a challenge to entrenched political power and corporate influence at a moment when civil rights battles are increasingly unfolding through state attorneys general's offices nationwide."
"“From the classroom to the courtroom, I have proven throughout my career that I will always stand up for what is right,” Bensing said."
"Bensing, 42, said his campaign will focus on tackling corporate greed, ensuring independent government oversight, and protecting civil rights. The race is expected to test whether Delaware Democrats are looking for a more confrontational progressive approach at a time when LGBTQ+ rights, reproductive healthcare, public , and government accountability have become increasingly central issues in Democratic politics."
Dwayne Bensing, a Delaware legal director and longtime LGBTQ+ advocate, announced his candidacy for Delaware attorney general, challenging incumbent Democrat Kathy Jennings for a third term. The campaign frames the race as a response to entrenched political power and corporate influence, with civil rights battles increasingly centered in state attorneys general offices. Bensing said the challenges facing the state require new approaches, and he emphasized tackling corporate greed, ensuring independent government oversight, and protecting civil rights. His background includes work with the ACLU of Delaware, prior federal civil rights roles, and legal advocacy in areas such as education equity, voting rights, free speech, prison conditions, and police accountability.
