As part of our 2026 Election coverage, Delaware Public Media is highlighting a series of “Races to Watch” ahead of the September Primary.Our series starts in New Castle County where Delaware’s 6th House District seat is up for grabs after being held by Democrat Debra Heffernan since 2010.Since Heffernan’s retirement announcement in April, three Democratic candidates have announced their bid to be her replacement in the Democratic leaning district.Delaware Public Media’s Abigail Lee has more on those candidates and where they stand.

We move out of the political arena to wrap up this week’s show, turning our focus to a story that has drawn a lot of attention in North Wilmington. Last week, we got our first look at what may be next for the Concord Mall – a mainstay on the retail scene since it opened in the late 1960s.Plans submitted with New Castle County show the mall – or at least a substantial part of it - now faces the wrecking ball.Contributor Eileen Dallabrida reports on this latest chapter in Concord Mall’s decline.

It’s been nearly three years since the Biden Administration announced the Mid-Atlantic Clean Hydrogen Hub or MACH2 was among a series of “hydrogen hubs” selected to receive substantial federal grants and jumpstart the hydrogen fuel industry. Delaware was to be a part of MACH2.This week, Delaware finally saw the first real move to get the ball rolling on hydrogen production here. Aternium — a Wilmington-based company — announced it plans to build a hydrogen production facility in Dover.But Aternium said it isn’t relying on MACH2 to be successful.Contributor Jon Hurdle took a closer look at their plans in Dover and where things stand with MACH2. He chatted with Tom Byrne earlier this week about what he learned.

Delaware’s current measles outbreak is now just over a dozen cases — all in Kent County — and four involving children.This outbreak — which comes as a surprise — doesn’t carry the same weight as COVID earlier in the decade, but is a cause for concern for some adults and children, especially those not vaccinated against measles.This week, Delaware Public Media’s Joe Irizarry caught up with Delaware Healthcare Association President & CEO Brian Frazee and Kate Smith, Executive Director of the Delaware Academy of Medicine and Public Health, to discuss this measles outbreak, as well as vaccinations and dealing with mis-and disinformation in that area.
