Lydia E. York is entering the Democratic primary for the office of Auditor of Accounts.
York issues the following statement: “This election is important to the state of Delaware and the Democratic Party in Delaware. I believe our taxpayer dollars should be used as a catalyst for opportunity and innovation, empowering social good, rising to the challenges of the moment, and preparing for our best future using insight and care. I am running for Auditor to ensure that the Auditors office operates with a level of accountability and transparency. There is work to be done and someone has to do the work. I intend to do that work.”
York is an estate attorney who resides in Pike Creek. She has a degree in accounting from Florida Agricultural and Mechanical University, an MBA from the Wharton School at the University of Pennsylvania, and two law degrees from Temple University.
York is expected to make an announcement in all three Delaware counties this weekend.
