The Delaware Senate on June 24 confirmed three gubernatorial nominations brought forward during executive session consideration.
The reading clerk presented the nomination of Michael T. Scuse to the Delaware Thoroughbred Racing Commission (term to expire July 17, 2032). After a requested roll call, the secretary recorded 21 yes votes and the Senate declared the nomination confirmed.
The Senate then considered the nomination of J. Eric Fearwold to be a trustee of the University of Delaware for a six-year term. The roll call recorded 21 yes votes; the Senate confirmed the appointment.
Finally, the Senate considered the reappointment of Joan F. Coker to the University of Delaware board for a six-year term. With adjustments noted on the roll call (absent-to-yes entries), the secretary recorded 21 yes votes and the reappointment was declared confirmed.
All three confirmations were greeted with brief applause and a recess to congratulate the nominees followed the votes. Each confirmation was handled by roll call and declared confirmed by the presiding officer.
