Nikki Miller Selected to Replace Stell Parker Selby

In a significant development for local politics, the Sussex County Republican Party has officially nominated Nikki Miller to be the Republican candidate in the special election for Delaware’s 20th District. This seat was vacated following the resignation of Rep. Stell Parker Selby, who stepped down on June 24 after being absent for the entire legislative session. Although there is no official date for the special election just yet, the law mandates that the Speaker of the House must request this election from the Department of Elections within ten days of the resignation.

Miller’s Campaign Focuses on Community and Growth

Campaigning on a platform that highlights traffic concerns, Miller aims to prioritize the needs of her constituents while also advocating for the preservation of rural areas and farms. Speaking about her campaign vision, she noted that, “Our roads, schools and healthcare systems are under pressure. We need smart investments that support growth without sacrificing our way of life.” By emphasizing community engagement, Miller stated that this campaign transcends partisan divides, declaring it is about doing what is best for Sussex County. Moller brings substantial experience to the campaign, having previously served as principal of Cape Henlopen High School and currently as an administrator in the Seaford School District. Miller remarked, “As a mother, educator, administrator and public servant, I’ve spent my life solving problems, not playing politics. The 20th District deserves a representative who listens, collaborates and leads with integrity.”
