I was lucky enough to spend time with some of Delaware's most dedicated community servants ahead of Thanksgiving.
Whether it be serving meals to families in need or supporting local businesses that power the local economy, it was great to see Delaweareans there for each other this holiday season.

This morning, I met with the Delaware State FOP to discuss issues affecting law enforcement here in Delaware and across the nation.
I’m grateful to our state’s brave, dedicated officers and I’ll do everything I can to support their work to keep our communities safe.

Had a great meeting with the Central Delaware Chamber of Commerce this morning on the high cost of health care and energy.

Glad to tour the BrightBloom Center at Nylon Capital Shopping Center in Seaford.
Geared toward children with autism and other special needs, this place is a wellspring of learning and enrichment.
Thank you to the staff for telling us about the amazing work they do!

Nylon Capital Shopping Center used to be a regional landmark, but it has fallen by the wayside in recent years. Now, it’s coming back.
Thanks to an incredible vision, and $20M from the American Rescue Plan Act, we're on the verge a new era here in Seaford!

Earlier this year, Michael, a Veteran, reached out to my team about getting his honorable discharge certificate. While working to help him, we learned he was also entitled to an award!
I was so proud to welcome him to our office, present his awards, and thank him for his service.

This is completely unacceptable and only further fans the flames of political violence in this country.
Both sides of the aisle should come together to condemn it.

The Department of Education’s job was never day-to-day management of classrooms, it was to protect our kids from discrimination and give every student the chance to thrive.
Don’t be fooled. The impacts of their negligence will be measured in years, not weeks or months.

If Republicans don’t extend ACA tax credits and premiums double, 7 in 10 people won’t be able to afford their coverage.
This is an entirely preventable crisis— it’s time for my colleagues across the aisle to act.

A 50-year mortgage just shows how shortsighted this administration is.
For a slightly lower monthly payment, you end up paying WAY more interest in the long term.
We need to pass real solutions to bring down housing costs- not just move costs around to benefit big banks.

The president is willing to try everything - including unproven strategies that undercut Americans’ bargaining power - to avoid extending tax credits that we KNOW will bring premiums down.
It’s time for Republicans to get serious about addressing this health care crisis.

It’s unconscionable how hard this administration would fight the court to deny people access to nutritious foods.
But as they leave Americans behind, many of our states are stepping up to fill the gap.
That’s why I introduced the SNAP Back Act— to repay states that do the right thing.

This plan is plain and simple: reopen the government, and extend the ACA tax credits as-is for 1 year so families don't have to suffer while we work to negotiate long-term fixes.
We have the chance to make a real impact— I hope my Republican colleagues will join us.

People are already feeling the pain of higher grocery bills, housing costs, and energy costs— they can't afford the cost of health care skyrocketing even further.

With open enrollment underway and premiums set to skyrocket, I met with health care advocates in Wilmington to discuss the impacts they're seeing in our state.
We must act to end this health care crisis, reform our insurance system, and lower costs.

These price hikes leave people with few options, and none of them are good— we need this administration to come to the table and take action to make care affordable for ALL of us.

After kicking millions of Americans off their insurance, Republicans are refusing to take action to prevent outrageous price hikes like this for millions more.
They're making our communities sicker and poorer, and they don't even seem to care.
