meet chris…
Chris Muntz is a lifelong Delawarean, proud husband and father, and a dedicated advocate for working families across District 27. As Business Manager of Plumbers & Pipefitters Local Union 74, Chris has spent his career bringing people together to solve problems, create opportunity, and strengthen Delaware's workforce. He believes the best solutions come from common sense, collaboration, and putting people ahead of politics.
A 1999 graduate of Hodgson Vocational Technical High School's plumbing program, Chris understands firsthand the value of hard work, skilled trades, and the opportunities that come from investing in people. After completing Local Union 74's apprenticeship program, he built a career helping Delawareans secure family-sustaining careers while working alongside businesses, educators, labor organizations, and community leaders to expand apprenticeship opportunities, strengthen workforce development, and support projects that create lasting economic prosperity.
Throughout his career, Chris has negotiated agreements between labor and management, worked with elected officials, collaborated with developers, contractors, educators, and government agencies, and helped build consensus on some of Delaware's most important economic development projects. Those experiences reinforced a simple belief: when people stop talking at each other and start working together, Delaware wins.
Chris is committed to representing the people of District 27 by focusing on practical leadership, honest communication, and real results that improve everyday life for working families. His approach is rooted in listening, finding common ground, and delivering solutions that move Delaware forward.

mot youth lacrosse ASSOCIATION
“I have known Chris Muntz for many years, and he has always demonstrated an unwavering commitment to his community. As a youth lacrosse coach, Chris helped shape Middletown’s young athletes into disciplined, confident individuals, instilling the values of hard work, teamwork, and integrity. As a devoted father with children in team sports, he continued to model dedication and leadership, fostering positive growth both on and off the field. Chris is someone you can count on being steadfast, engaged, and ready to step up wherever he can make a difference.”

our daily bread
One of Chris’s favorite ways to give back to our community is partnering with the Appoquinimink Men’s Lacrosse team and their long-standing, selfless tradition of volunteering at Our Daily Bread. It’s genuinely heartwarming to watch our young athletes generously pour their time and care into the lives of others, making a meaningful difference for neighbors in need.
appoquinimink theater
“I first met Chris Muntz while we were building theatrical sets for his daughter’s shows at Appoquinimink High School. From the very first moment, I could tell that Chris was a committed parent that wanted to be involved with his children and was a true “family man”. He even committed to being a “flying father” during the school’s production of The Wizard of Oz, where he volunteered to be backstage at every rehearsal and every show to fly the Wicked Witch of the West. After working on several shows with him at the high school, I’ve learned that he puts his energy, commitment, and passion into everything he does. These and his other positive attributes make him the perfect candidate to represent us on the New Castle County Council. I can’t think of a better candidate.”
