Get StartedEnshrine marriage equality and reproductive rights in Delaware's constitution. Neither of these are federally protected, and with recent rulings, we cannot take either for granted. Learn more
Expand vote-by-mail. Just like early voting, this is another way to allow people to vote who otherwise might be deterred or unable. Under current laws, voting by mail is only allowed under narrow circumstances. There is no reason to disallow voting by mail. Learn more
Eliminate the use of cash bail for nonviolent offenses Learn more
Expand access to alternatives like restorative justice and diversion programs Learn more
Reduce over-policing and mass incarceration Learn more
Establish a neighborhood flood-mitigation fund. To make the best use of this, we will target street-by-street drainage upgrades in low-lying parts of Milton, Belltown, and Red Mill Pond. Learn more
Fund fire and emergency services in high growth areas. As Sussex County sprawls, emergency services are getting more and more calls, leading to a higher deficit and a possibility of suspension of services. Learn more
Utilize workforce housing programs to aid our educators. While housing prices in Sussex County have surged nearly 50% from pre-pandemic, teacher salaries have grown at just half that rate. Learn more
Provide competitive pay to teachers. We have a serious deficit in math, science, and special ed teachers, and many are choosing to go to other states due to a lack of incentive. Learn more
Support scholarships for teachers who stay in Delaware and cut down on wait times for licensure approval. Learn more
Increase in-state energy production with an emphasis on green energy sources. Recent outages have demonstrated that our grid is stretched thin. As the lowest-lying district in the lowest-lying state in the country, we must push for green energy sources, including both wind and solar. Learn more
Push for utility companies to bury power lines. Old-fashioned overhead lines are easily damaged by weather and natural damages, leading to both outages and damage of personal property. Learn more
Protect our bays & aquifers. Runoff in rural zones and wetlands worsens flooding and pollutes our drinking water. Because of this, building in these areas has to be done slowly and responsibly. Additionally, we will need to expand farmland easement programs, tighten buffer compliance, and incentivize off-site conservation. Learn more
Bring care closer by recruiting clinicians with loan-forgiveness programs tied to local service. This will partially restore some of the debt forgiveness programs available for public servants which were recently cut in Trump's bill. Learn more
Ensure developers are paying for school expansion, not our residents. Residents shouldn’t be forced to pay higher school taxes for endless growth. Developers need to pay their fair share with impact fees. Learn more
Build only where the roads can handle it; Before approving large subdivisions, require an independent traffic-impact study and a binding fix-it plan funded by developers, not taxpayers. Learn more
Complete our bike-ped network by closing trail gaps and improving the safety of crossings. RD 20 is home to some of Delaware’s most beautiful and best-used bike trails, including the Junction & Breakwater Trail and the expanding Georgetown–Lewes Trail, but significant gaps remain. Learn more
