His college-student niece is his communications director.

His 16-year-old daughter is his assistant campaign director. His 18-year-old daughter shoots photo and video of the race for a Sussex Technical High School project. But Democrat Sternberg and his family have a formidable challenge to win the 39th District seat, which includes Seaford and the surrounding area. The orthopedic surgeon is up against Republican Danny Short, the firefighter and insurance agent who spent about eight years as mayor of Seaford. Short has been endorsed by Tina Fallon, the outgoing representative who is retiring after 28 years.

Sternberg, who filed at the last minute, jokes that his success could depend on how many of his patients vote. Both candidates say they want to allow growth, but make sure developers invest in the community's infrastructure. As mayor, Short said he created a reserve fund from the realty transfer tax. Instead of putting the money in the city's operating budget, the city puts it aside for future infrastructure work. Sternberg, who accepts all insurance plans at his practice, said he will use his knowledge of the medical field to help get insurance for all Delawareans.

Short, who owns Short Insurance Associates, said he would use his insurance background to do the same. Short, who was fire chief of Seaford for about three years, said he also wants to help create a disaster relief fund to make Delaware better prepared for emergencies such as hurricanes and even the heavy rains that flooded streets and washed out four bridges in Seaford this summer. After his experience as mayor, he said, he saw that cities and the state need to work together better. "Being a municipal leader gives you a perspective that's different than being a state leader," he said. "I think I can really give some good insight." He also said he wants to bring more jobs to Delaware and highlighted how, as mayor of Seaford, he helped create a position that focuses solely on economic development.

Under his tenure, land was developed to attract business and industry investment. Last year a regional FedEx distribution facility opened in Seaford. Sternberg said he wants schools to use more self-paced learning and suggested the Delaware Student Testing Program be replaced by a different achievement test. He said his experience as a surgeon will help him in office. "I'm used to coming up with The News Journal multiple solutions to a problem," he said "I think I'm more of an independent voice.

I'm also willing to stand up for what I think is right." So far, Sternberg said, the campaign has been a learning experience for him and his team of "rookies."

Fallon, a retired teacher who once had Short as a student, said she would be happy to see him fill her shoes. "He likes the people," she said. "He's a good worker." Sternberg is running on the slogan: "Put the Doctor in the House." Karen ChaDman. who lives got a bit rocky He was recently suspended from Nanticoke Memorial Hospital after he invited a reporter from The News Journal to observe a surgery This is Sternberg's second attempt at public office. He ran for the Seaford School Board in May and lost.

Short has held elected office in Seaford since 1994. He ran for the state Senate in 2004 and lost. "The Senate race was a lot bigger race," Short said. "This of the Delaware Democratic party, said that if Sternberg can get his message out about managed development, the economy and schools, he should have a shot. "They trust me with their life and limbs." Sternberg said.

"I hope they can trust me as their representative." Contact Rachael Jackson at 856-7373 BIRTHS CHRISTIANA HOSPITAL Persing Rebecca and Phillip, Wilmington, Aug, 17 son.
