Newark Democrat Ed Osienski has been selected for a leadership position in the Delaware House of Representatives.
Osienski was chosen as House majority whip, the third-ranking position, by his Democratic colleagues during a caucus meeting Nov. 8.
“I’m looking forward to working with the caucus to continue passing legislation that makes life better for all Delawareans,” Osienski said. “From strengthening labor protections and improving our economy to creating more opportunities for families and workers, we have an incredible opportunity to drive meaningful progress. I am committed to ensuring that the bills we pass in the 153rd General Assembly reflect the growing and changing needs of our state.”
Osienski, a 66-year-old retired sprinkler fitter from the Christina’s Brace neighborhood, was recently elected to his eighth term in the House. He represents District 24, which includes parts of eastern Newark, including Fountainview, White Chapel, George Read Village and Stafford, as well as Brookside, Scottfield, Chestnut Hill Estates and surrounding areas.
