Friends,

I am writing to you today with an important update regarding my exploratory campaign for Attorney General of Delaware. As you know, the past few months have been incredibly productive, and I am deeply grateful for the overwhelming support and encouragement you have shown. Your belief in our vision for a more just and equitable legal system has been truly inspiring, and together, we've built a strong foundation.

After careful consideration and much reflection, I have made the difficult decision to suspend our exploratory campaign at this time. This decision stems from my unwavering commitment to my current role as a civil rights attorney. The work we do is vital, and it demands my full and undivided attention, particularly as we navigate several critical cases. Given the incumbent Attorney General's announcement of her intention to campaign for a third term, I want to ensure there is no perceived conflict of interest as I continue my work advocating for civil rights, which often finds me at odds with her office. Maintaining the highest ethical standards and avoiding any appearance of impropriety is paramount to me, both personally and professionally.

I want to extend my deepest gratitude to each of you for your generous financial contributions, your invaluable advice, and your tireless dedication. Your support has been the driving force behind the success of this exploratory phase, and I am truly humbled by your commitment.

While fundraising efforts will pause for now, please know that this is not a final decision regarding a future 2026 campaign. I anticipate taking a leave of absence from my current role in early 2026, at which point I will make a definitive decision about whether to resume this important endeavor. Stay tuned.

Thank you again for everything.

Dwayne

Short Answer: “Democratic titans of Delaware politics from Wilmington who all have received generous campaign donations from developers Robert and Christopher Buccini, co-founders of Buccini Pollin Group.”

Attorney General Kathy Jennings says she abandoned the idea she championed last year, but the money remains in the state’s proposed budget.

At a time when our federal civil servants are under attack, we should stand behind our civil servant DAGs upholding the rule of law right here in Delaware!

Delaware has the oldest Attorney General in the country. This isn't about age--its about passing the torch to a new generation ready to take on the challenges ahead. The next generation is ready to lead, and we can't afford to keep doing things the same way.

There is a growing wave of young Democrats who have launched bids to shake up the party’s ranks by ousting incumbent House members in deep blue seats. They see voter frustrations with Democrats’ ineffective response to President Donald Trump’s actions as a mandate to remake the party.

Targeted by the Governor-Mayor, but prosecuted by the Attorney General. The First Amendment is Fundamental. Poor excercise of prosecutorial discretion.

Michaelena DeJesus defeated the state in court over an encounter with the former governor.

With friends like these…

“Sgt. Spearman responded by slapping the victim in the face, knocking her upper body and head to the ground.”

But you have to get to the end of the press release to understand the violation of public trust. Somebody please make this press release make sense?! DOJ doesn’t bend over backwards to justify violence committed by anyone other than police. But, here, let’s include all the mitigating factors in the indictment press release. 🙄

On April 14, suspended Wilmington Police Officer Sgt. Caro Spearman was indicted on charges of Assault Third Degree, Offensive Touching and two counts of Official Misconduct in New Castle County Superior Court. The indictment follows an investigation led by the Wilmington Police Department in connec...

Attorney General’s Office said Caserta wasn’t charged with a hate crime because the evidence shows that “the defendant appeared to be motivated by his belief that the victim was making romantic or sexual advances toward his child, rather than the victim’s sexual orientation.” This is precisely the gay panic defense Rep. Eric Morrison outlawed last session. Hate is often fueled by fear. DOJ's Division of Civil Rights and Public Trust is broken.

Police arrested the veteran New Castle County officer in August. Now a lawsuit claims the victim's sexual orientation precipitated the attack.

The outsized influence of corporate money hurts Delawareans. “You are the company you keep.”

Lobbyists attended and paid for the conferences. Attorney General Kathy Jennings got free flights, hotel rooms, meals, side trips and pampering, but didn’t disclose gifts.

I'd be proud to defend the DMV in federal court on this issue.
Rep. Sean M. Lynn is right: “Doing the right thing sometimes means that you have a target on your back.”

Delaware lawmakers passed a bill out of committee that would restrict the sharing of undocumented drivers’ info with federal authorities.

DE DOJ is failing to prosecute corporate fraudsters.

While home improvement fraud cases have steadily increased over the last five years, more than a quarter were dropped before trial.
