New Castle County Recorder Kozikowski offered $76,295 county job to potential primary challenger Tackett to keep him from filing

On June 24, 2026, New Castle County, Delaware Recorder of Deeds Mike Kozikowski, a six-term incumbent, repeatedly offered County Councilman David Tackett a newly created $76,295-a-year county job during a 90-minute lunch, conditioning the offer on Tackett not filing to challenge him in the September 15 Democratic primary. Tackett secretly recorded the meeting, filed his candidacy immediately afterward, and later filed a formal complaint with the Delaware Attorney General's Division of Civil Rights and Public Trust accusing Kozikowski of "attempted inducement of a prospective political candidate."
