There was no Democratic candidate in the race. Bessicks, 34, has been prosecuting cases involving crimes against children since January and was been a prosecutor for four years. She is a graduate of the University of Delaware and the Widener University Law School and served as a law clerk in the local Circuit Court before joining the State’s Attorney’s office.
