December 31, 2025 Delaware Family Policy Council Sussex, Did you notice the shift this year? Over the past few years, the transgender industry was quickly gaining ground and attracting thousands of children into its vortex, with both federal and state support. Look how much has changed in 2025: The Supreme Court protected parents' right to opt their children out of sexualized content in schools. The Supreme Court ruled that states can protect children from the gender mutilati

December 24, 2025 Daniel Willis, Chairman, Sussex County Republican Party Dear Fellow Republicans,   Christmas has a way of bringing us back to what truly matters.   When I think of Christmas, I still picture myself as a child running downstairs early in the morning, filled with anticipation to see what Santa had brought. Like many families, the gifts marked “from Mom and Dad” were just as meaningful, if not more so. And truthfully, my dad was often just as surprised as I was

December 24, 2025 Daniel Willis, Chairman, Sussex County Republican Party Our hearts are heavy today as we mourn the loss of a Delaware State Trooper who made the ultimate sacrifice while protecting our community during the tragic incident in Wilmington. His courage and selflessness reflect the very best of public service and law enforcement. We grieve alongside his family, his fellow troopers, and all who serve on the front lines to keep our communities safe. We also keep th

December 22, 2025 The Seaford Police Department recently advised owners of Kia and Hyundai vehicles to take preventive measures, as their vehicles are more likely to be stolen.

December 22, 2025 U.S. Department of the Interior WASHINGTON – The Department of the Interior announced today that it is pausing—effective immediately—the leases for all large-scale offshore wind projects under construction in the United States due to national security risks identified by the Department of War in recently completed classified reports.

December 19, 2025 State Senator Eric Buckson, District 16 Kent County When Delaware holds a special election to fill a seat vacated by a current office holder, a committee decides who will be on the ballot for each of the major parties. I am a firm believer in the voting public making that decision, which is why I partnered across the aisle with Representative Mara Gorman on legislation that does just that. To me, it is common sense. We hold primaries ahead of regular electio

December 19, 2025 Delaware House Republican Caucus In advance of lawmakers returning to the State Capitol Building next month, new bills were filed in the House this week:   RAISING THE STANDARD   House Bill 239  -- Sponsor: State Rep. Jeff Spiegelman, et.al . -- The House of Representatives and Senate have rules that require public notification before a bill is debated and voted on in their respective chambers.

December 19, 2025 State Senator Dave Wilson This week, I introduced  Senate Bill 212 (SB 212) , bipartisan legislation to begin the process of amending the Delaware Constitution to recognize the right to hunt, fish, and trap wildlife.   Delaware has a long and proud outdoor heritage. For generations, hunting, fishing, and trapping have played a critical role in wildlife conservation, land stewardship, and maintaining balanced ecosystems. Twenty one states already protect thes

December 18, 2026 State Senator Bryant Richardson A week ago Tuesday the Fairness in Girls’ Sports Act was released for co-sponsorship. A hearing on the proposed legislation could take place as early as January 2026.   State Rep. Tim Dukes (R-Laurel) is once again the prime sponsor in the House.   The purpose of the Fairness in Girls’ Sports Act is to preserve the integrity of girls sports and to give guidance and protection to schools and associations in deciding how to proc

December 19, 2025 Delaware Republican Party While Delaware Democrats are pushing to burden hardworking Delawareans with even higher taxes through reckless policies like House Bill 255, they're also hell-bent on destroying our proud status as the nation's premier haven for major businesses and corporations, threatening one-third of our state's general revenue. • Just days ago, Houston-based Avelo Airlines —the only commercial airline serving Delaware, anchoring over 100 local

December 19, 2025 By Charlie Copeland Center for Economic & Fiscal Policy Delaware’s decision to decouple from the federal accelerated depreciation rules ( House Bill 255 as amended ) , which passed in November and was signed into law shortly thereafter, is being sold as a responsible way to “protect the budget.” In reality, it acts as a quiet tax hike on investment, signals that Delaware is willing to be less competitive, and reflects a fundamental misunderstanding of accele

December 18, 2025 by Daniel Willis Chairman, Sussex County Republican Party Fellow Republicans,   As we approach the close of the year, I want to share a brief and important update.   We are fewer than 100 people away from completing our year-end and fourth-quarter fundraising goal, measured by individuals committing to a recurring monthly donation of $10. Reaching this goal is within reach, and the final days of the calendar year will determine whether we cross the finish li

December 17, 2025 By Dr. David R. Legates, Ph.D. CRI Contributor In a companion explainer, “ Understanding ‘the Grid’ that Powers Delaware , ” I describe how the electric grid operates as a real- time, just-in-time system in which electricity must be produced and consumed almost instantaneously. That structure frames the challenges now confronting Delaware as electricity demand rises and state generation capacity continues to decline. PJM Interconnection, the regional grid op
