Nikki Miller Selected as Republican Candidate for 20th District
In a significant political move, Sussex County Republicans have decided to nominate Nikki Miller as their candidate in the upcoming special election for the 20th District. This seat was recently vacated by Rep. Stell Parker Selby, who officially resigned from her position on June 24 after being absent throughout the entire legislative session. Although the speaker of the house is required by law to inform the Department of Elections within ten days for a special election, the exact date for this election remains unknown, leaving the GOP and constituents waiting for further news.

Miller’s Vision for Community Engagement
As an experienced educator and administrator, Miller possesses a unique background that she believes strengthens her candidacy. Previously serving as the principal of Cape Henlopen High School, she is currently an administrator in the Seaford School District. “I think it’s essential for a leader to listen and engage with the community; I have spent my career tackling challenges rather than engaging in politics for politics’ sake,” Miller explained. With this mindset, she invites the 20th District residents to participate in her vision for meaningful progress and resolution of local challenges.
In summary, Nikki Miller’s nomination marks a pivotal moment for the 20th District, with her focus on practical solutions such as traffic and community engagement.
