CORNERSTONE INITIATIVE
MESSAGE FROM
DANIEL WILLIS,
Chairman
Sussex County Republican Party
Friends and Colleagues,
It is my honor to share that the Delaware Republican Party has formally launched the Delaware Cornerstone Initiative, a statewide undertaking committed to preparing the next generation of conservative leaders for service, stewardship, and success.
This initiative marks an important moment for our Party. It reflects a clear and disciplined vision: to cultivate young men and women who are grounded in principle, serious in purpose, and ready to shoulder the responsibilities of leadership. Across our state, we see young conservatives stepping forward with conviction and talent—individuals who are not waiting for the future, but are ready to help shape it. The Cornerstone Initiative exists to give them the structure, training, and support worthy of that calling.
Our vision is direct yet profound:
A Delaware where young conservatives are not simply participants in the political process, but architects of the future united in purpose, anchored in integrity, and prepared to lead for generations to come.
I am proud to serve and lead this initiative on behalf of the Delaware Republican Party, alongside leaders from across our state, including the Delaware GOP, College Republicans, Young Republicans, and the newly established Cornerstone Action Team. Together, we are laying a foundation that strengthens our bench, elevates our engagement, and ensures that the values we champion today endure well into tomorrow.
In the weeks ahead, we will begin introducing the first wave of programs, outreach opportunities, and leadership development efforts connected to the initiative. Additional details will be shared as these components are finalized.
For those who wish to learn more, become involved, or support the mission of the Cornerstone Initiative, please reach out anytime at: daniel@sussex.gop
Thank you for your continued commitment to our shared work and to the future of our Party

GOVERNMENT OVERREACH
Freedom for the individual - NO Mandates!
It’s not the purpose of government to mandate what we drive, how we cook our food, heat our homes and what vaccines to put in our bodies. Freedom is to choose what is right for each individual and their family.
Our Borders and Immigration
DE Democrats want open borders. That makes it easier for gangs, drugs and human trafficking to enter our country. We want strict border security with a clearly defined pathway for citizenship for those who enter legally. We want a responsible immigration policy.
Sanctity of Life
DE Democrats in Power passed surgical abortion on demand up to birth paid for with tax dollars. We support religious, parental, legal and safe reproductive rights while also balancing the life of an unborn baby. Vote Republican if you agree.
2A Rights
Delaware Democrats want to license a Constitutional Right and treat law abiding citizens like criminals. The right of the citizen to bear arms shall not be infringed!
Progressives want to tell You how to live and force their views on everyone else. No more!
VOTE REPUBLICAN
EVERY YEAR
EVERY ELECTION
The Republicans of Delaware are dedicated to safeguarding the rights and freedoms of all residents.

IT'S THE ECONOMY
DE Democrats in Power spend more than we can afford and plan to raise our taxes.
DE Republicans demand we
balance our budget!
FACT Delaware Democrats passed the 2025 budget that is $523 million dollars higher than 2024, yet brings in only $80 million more in revenue. Can YOU do this? Democrat spending is UNSUSTAINABLE! They WILL increase taxes!
Sources: 2023 Budget Bill - HB 195, 2024 Budget Bill - SB 325, DEFAC June 2024 Revenue Worksheet
FACT Delaware Democrats passed a 2024 budget to increase spending by 13% higher. That's $14,736 per household. Can you afford to pay $14,736 more? Can your neighbor?
FACT One third of Delaware’s population is on Medicaid, yet Delaware Democrat lawmakers voted to expand services with less revenue. This is UNSUSTAINABLE!
FACT In 2023, Delaware had the smallest Real Gross Domestic Product (GDP) among all states in the country, -1.2%, the sole state with a negative GDP growth rate. This needs to change!
FACT 61% of Americans who live paycheck to paycheck can’t afford these increases.

Your vote is your voice.
Every election. Every year.
Your vote can’t be stolen if you vote!
EDUCATION MATTERS
When Delaware schools fail, Delaware’s economy fails, leading to poverty and crime.
Education matters!
DE Republicans demand the return of authority and accountability back with teachers, not bureaucrats!
FACT As per the Nation’s Report Card, Delaware is the 4th worst performing state on the National Assessment of Educational Progress while being in the top 10 in spending, $20,231 per student (DOE).
FACT In Delaware, 17 schools have less than 1 in 10 students who can read or do math at grade level. Democrats don’t have a plan!
FACT Roughly 1/3 of the state budget is spent on education, yet Democrats want to spend more! Lack of money is NOT the problem!
FACT Over the last 20 years, spending per student has increased 34.5%, while students' test scores continue to drop. Democrats plan to raise property taxes to increase spending by $500 million to $1 billion to improve "equity."
FACT DE Schools chronic absenteeism is out of control, topping at 21% in 2023. DE schools are seeing a decrease in the level of discipline, and an increase in violence and bullying.

Republicans have a plan!
CRIME
Crime is increasing not just in the cities, but in our neighborhoods too. Democrats are soft on crime and it will get worse!
DE Republicans demand a return to the Rule of Law and a stronger, safer, more prosperous America!
FACT Delaware ranks #15 highest in the nation for violent crime per capita in 2023!
FACT The most dangerous city in DE is Seaford, and was labeled “The Heroin Capital of America.” Laurel, Georgetown, and Dover are right behind it in crime.
FACT DE Attorney General created over 40 internal policy changes that make it
nearly impossible to incarcerate a person
even for an extremely violent crime.
FACT Delaware Democrats tried to pass a reform bill to make all probation and parole unsupervised and prohibits jail time for individuals who break their probation/parole.
FACT The average increase in drug overdose death count is 18% every year from 2012 to 2020 and is still increasing.
FACT Retail theft is up 10.5% nationally, costing Delaware $547 million in 2022, but DE's AG is soft on prosecuting crimes.
DE Democrats are soft on crime
and allow drugs to increase, yet they infringe on 2A rights to prevent us from protecting our families.
Every election we must get the vote out to vote Republican!
