To strengthen the integrity of state-run elections and safeguard democracy here in the First State, members of the Delaware State Senate Democratic Caucus and Delaware House Democrats have introduced a package of three bills to modernize and improve Delaware’s election laws.
“The modernization of our election laws is essential to ensuring voter confidence and overall trust in our electoral process. SB 266 is about election protection and safeguarding our democracy, ensuring that Delaware’s elections are held in a way that is clear, fair, and reliable,” said Sen. Dan Cruce. “While national distrust in government has grown, it’s important that we meet the moment here at home to uphold our core values and guarantee trust at the ballot box.”
“This legislation is rooted in providing trust, while tightening our existing reporting procedures,” said Senate Majority Leader Bryan Townsend. “House Bill 344 will hold both campaigns and political committees to higher standards, which will bolster enforcement mechanisms to address potential bad actors.”
“Committes that support candidates and political parties are an integral part of our electoral process. The money that flows from these committees to candidates deserves to be as open to the public as possible, and this bill achieves that goal,” said Sen. Kyra Hoffner. “Voters deserve to know how money is spent in our state’s elections so they can make decisions free from undue influence, for better or for worse.”

Rembering this day in 1968, when the world lost a powerful leader, with the assassination of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Almost a lifetime ago. We take some time today to remember his influence towards helping America live up to our guiding principles.

Once again, we are standing in one of the most momentous periods of human history. It's up to us now to recover our country.

Delaware, and the 23rd RD in particular, had a special connection to the Rev Jesse Jackson. Our own committee member Vivian Houghton was a state-wide leader of his campaign, and helped Jackson win the majority of Delaware voters and convention Delegates! Jackson's campaign helped lead the way to a more representative government, including the election of Barack Obama, Kamala Harris, and our own Lisa Blunt Rochester.

Thank you sir, for leading the way.

Our Congresswoman, Congresswoman Sarah McBride, has put together a summary of the situation in Greenland that is clear and sadly, sobering.

Please call your Senate or House Representatives, whether in Delaware or beyond, and let them know that this situation (and this President) has gone too far, and must be reined in NOW!
