Young Democrats Win Seats in Upper House
Two of the new US senators will be the nation’s youngest in the chamber, Josiah O. Wolcott of Delaware and Peter Gerry of Rhode Island. Gerry’s campaign featured a house-to-house, foreign-language outreach and a low-profile, targeted effort led by General Henry De Witt Hamilton with a focus on French and immigrant voters. Wolcott’s rise follows Du Pont opposition shifting in Delaware, aided by family history and local politics.
