I have interacted with Sussex County Councilman Mark Schaeffer regarding an ongoing issue in our community. He has always been available and extremely helpful in navigating through the relevant zoning issues. He is forthright and always responsive.
I note that two of the three other Republicans on Sussex County Council lost their primary bids. As a result, there will be new Republican faces on council, and there may be a majority of the control group who will be reform-minded. Thus, I urge that Mark will be well situated to advance land-use reform and ethics legislation.
I’m voting for Mark Schaeffer.
