October 2, 2026 Marilyn Booker, President Sussex County Republican Women's Club Greetings, SCRWC Members and Associates, Only half of Delaware Republicans vote in an off-year election. That turnout costs us seats we should be winning. If 7 of 10 of us had voted in 2022, Republicans would have won House Districts 20 and 27, and b oth seats have Republican candidates on the ballot this November.

October 2, 2026 State Senator Brian Pettyjohn On Monday, the Philadelphia 76ers announced a multi-year partnership and jersey patch deal with Bloom Energy. Good for the Sixers.

September 25, 2026 Kevin T. Conlon, Cape Gazette A new state law creates a fee to fund road improvements. The fee will put the burden of improving roads on the people buying homes that contribute to road congestion, rather than on DelDOT and state taxpayers, according to HB 450.

If Democrats win just one more seat in the House of Representatives, they will have all the votes they need to radically change the Delaware Constitution. They will: - Make late-term abortion a constitutional right - Restrict your right to protect your family - Allow boys to play girls' sports and use girls' private spaces such as locker rooms - Usher in a wave of socialist policies And this isn't talked about
