Delaware’s healthcare system is at a crossroads, and as Sussex County continues to grow and age, we must ensure that our healthcare workforce and infrastructure keep pace. Today, I joined healthcare leaders from across the state as they announced the First State Health Leaders Alliance and unveiled a joint advocacy agenda to tackle critical issues in our healthcare system. This eight-point plan focuses on workforce development, easing patient access to care, improving public health, and ensuring our healthcare providers have the support they need to serve our communities. I’m proud to support this effort to strengthen healthcare in Sussex County and across Delaware.

Delaware Online/The News Journal published an article this morning attempting to paint a misleading picture of the energy debate in our state. Notably, none of the Senate Republicans were contacted for comment.
Let’s be clear: The Delaware Senate Republican Caucus is NOT opposed to renewable energy. We recognize the value of renewables, but we also understand that reliability, availability, and affordability must be considered. A well-balanced energy portfolio that includes renewables, nuclear, and traditional energy sources is essential to ensuring Delawareans have reliable and cost-effective power.
The article claims that Republican lawmakers are simply following partisan rhetoric by opposing renewable energy. What it fails to mention is that Senator Richardson has proposed a task force to study nuclear energy, a reliable and clean energy source. Instead of recognizing this effort, the article ignores real policy solutions proposed by Republicans that would strengthen Delaware’s energy future. His proposed task force will study the feasibility of small modular reactors in our state, ensuring we consider every option to strengthen our energy grid.
Senator Hocker’s Senate Bill 65 would terminate Delaware’s participation in Regional Greenhouse Gas Initiatives (RGGI), a program that has already exceeded its carbon reduction goals but continues to drive up electricity costs. Consider the facts:
• Delaware has already cut CO₂ emissions by at least 45 percent, far exceeding the original RGGI goal of 10 percent.
• Delaware ranks 46th in GDP growth, while states with lower electricity costs are thriving.
• The cost of RGGI compliance falls on consumers, making Delaware less competitive for business and investment.
Our caucus believes energy policy should be practical, balanced, and consumer-focused. Delawareans deserve affordable, reliable power, not just political rhetoric.
What do you think? Let me know in the comments.
