Emails obtained by The Associated Press show that Delaware Lt. Gov. Bethany Hall-Long’s office staff was in regular communication last year with her husband and other people involved in her campaign for governor.

Delaware Lt. Gov. Bethany Hall-Long marches in Rehoboth Beach’s 33rd annual Sea Witch Festival Costume Parade, Saturday, Oct. 28, 2023, in Rehoboth Beach, Del. FILE - Delaware Lt. Gov. Bethany Hall-Long and her husband Dana walk out into the rain for the inauguration ceremony at Legislative Hall in Dover, Del., Jan. 17, 2017.

Among the officials who engaged in communications related to Hall-Long’s campaign was Matthew Dougherty, director of operations in the lieutenant governor’s office. Dougherty recently took a leave of absence to serve as Hall-Long’s campaign manager. The move came after the latest in a series of shakeups in Hall-Long’s troubled campaign, as two top staffers left in the wake of a campaign finance audit commissioned by the state elections department.

Hall-Long’s office staff, along with aides working for the state Behavioral Health Consortium that she chairs, also collaborated to ensure her appearance last October in the annual Sea Witch Costume Parade in Rehoboth Beach. Algarin then sent an email during business hours to Brandon Cox, Hall-Long’s campaign manager at the time, with the parade information.

Dougherty told Long in an email that he would be happy to book a San Antonio luxury hotel using “BHL’s credit card,” but Long replied that he had not yet decided at which hotel “we are going stay.”
