Seaford is a city located along the Nanticoke River in Sussex County, Delaware, United States.

It is reported that an error in a map coordinate resulted in the east-west line of Delaware being from current Delmar to Fenwick.

Seaford has a mild subtropical climate consisting of hot, humid summers and cool winters.

According to National Incident-Based Reporting System (NIBRS), violent crime in the United States is most likely to be committed in urban areas.

Wilmington, the most populous city in Delaware, registered 2,412 violent cases Seaford was ranked second in the state behind Dewey Beach.

[11] A combination of factors has led to Seaford being listed as the second-worst place to live in the state.

[17] Seaford’s controversial Mayor David Genshaw was accused of possible quid pro quo after the Attorney General’s Office announced it was suing the city over a controversial abortion-rights ordinance that Councilman King claims the mayor spearheaded because of his own personal agenda.

[19] “It’s very sad when your AG’s office has to step in, again, and sue one of their own cities,” King stated.

Dave [Mayor Genshaw] has a history of this, with right-to-work we’ve seen it, spending money and passing an ordinance and then the state stepping in and saying ‘those behaviors are illegal’ we can’t do that.

We’ve seen this before, it’s dangerous behavior.”[20] Mayor Genshaw has continuously defended the ordinance and flaunted the possibility of a private donor funding legal expenses for the city to fight the lawsuit.

“Dave [Mayor Genshaw] is saying ‘hey, you know what, we’ve got this magical donor that’s willing to pick up all the expense, and that whole conversation didn’t feel right, so I’m like ‘who is this person, is it a quid-pro-quo?

What are they trying to get out of this?’ And he’s like, look I’ll tell you this information, but you got to be sworn to silence, secrecy, and I’m like, man, that’s not what we’re elected for, I’ve got constituents, people in the community that are asking who this person is, and if you’re going to tell me and you’re asking me to be silent with that information, then don’t tell me.” “You’ve got the AG’s office suing, asking for our fees reimbursed, so what are you going to deplete resources, reserves, for legal fees that aren’t going to amount to anything.” Attorney General Kathy Jennings moved forward with the lawsuit after multiple warnings that the ‘anti-choice ordinance’ violates state law.

This ordinance is part of a national wave of anti-abortion policies that have been weaponized in the politics of the United States of America.
