Message from Sussex GOP Chair, Daniel Willis
This Special Election Is Our Line in the Sand
Dear Sussex County Republicans, The resignation of Democrat Representative Stell Parker Selby from Delaware’s 20th House District didn’t happen in a vacuum, it happened because your Sussex County Republican Party refused to stay silent. From the moment concerns were raised, we led the charge: issuing the first press release, calling for transparency, and speaking out when others chose to stay quiet. We demanded answers — and the truth finally came to light. From issuing the initial press release, to raising questions others were too afraid to ask, to going on the record in interviews, we refused to let this story be buried. We demanded answers and we never backed down. We also thank the staff at Coast TV, Spotlight Delaware, and the journalists who had the courage to report the facts and ensure this story wasn’t lost in the news cycle. Their commitment to truth made it impossible for the cover-up to continue. Now, with the seat officially vacated, the people of District 20 have a rare opportunity to speak, and this special election will be their voice. Let’s be clear: the Democrat Party didn’t just make a mistake. They engaged in a coordinated attempt to mislead voters and cling to power. That’s not just dishonest, it’s dangerous. The Republican Party does not reward bad behavior. No common-sense voter should either. Delaware has been under one-party rule for far too long. Our values, our voices, and our communities have been ignored. This is the moment we begin to take it back, and it starts with winning this special election. This seat isn’t just another vote in the chamber. It’s a statement to Dover and the Democrat machine that: • The people are watching. • We demand accountability. • And we are ready for a change. But this fight won’t be won with passion alone. It will be won with action in and resources. We must produce literature, drop targeted mail, and launch district-wide advertising to fight back against the Democrats’ false narrative. We are in a time crunch — and we cannot afford to waste a single day. Your support will ensure we don’t fall short. This fight for the truth depends on you — and you can’t let us down, can you? If you believe in what we’re doing… If you’re ready to flip this seat and send a message… Then don’t wait. ➡️ [Donate now to fuel this fight] [INSERT DONATION LINK] Every dollar gets us closer. Every second matters. The footprint is as big as the shoe. It is impossible to divorce yourself from the impact of your actions. With your donation, you choose your footprint.

Thank You for a Memorable Visit to Legislative Hall
Fellow Republicans, I want to thank everyone who joined us for our recent tour of Legislative Hall in Dover. It was an incredible opportunity to learn more about our state government and witness the legislative process in action. A special thank you goes to House Minority Leader, Timothy Dukes and Senate Minority Whip, Brian Pettyjohn and their staffs for their warm welcome, valuable insight, and dedication to engaging with our community. Their time and hospitality made this experience especially meaningful. This event marks the beginning of a new annual tradition for our County organization. We’re excited to make this tour a recurring effort and look forward to expanding it into a larger event next year, providing even more members the chance to participate. Thank you again for making this event a success. We’re looking forward to what’s ahead. Best regards, Daniel Willis Chair, Sussex County Republican Party

A Memorial Day Message from
Sussex GOP Chair, Daniel Willis
Dear Sussex County Residents, As Memorial Day approaches, many will wish one another a “happy” or “long” weekend. But I ask that we pause to remember the true meaning behind this day, one not of celebration, but of solemn remembrance. Memorial Day is a time to honor the men and women who made the ultimate sacrifice in service to our nation. It’s about the flag-draped coffins, the final salutes, and the empty chairs at dinner tables across America. It’s about people like Army Sgt. 1st Class Mihail Golin, a Green Beret who laid down his life on January 1, 2018, while serving in Afghanistan. Sgt. Golin was a proud American who emigrated from Latvia, enlisted in 2005, and served multiple tours in Iraq and Afghanistan. He was killed by enemy fire while on patrol with the 10th Special Forces Group, an elite unit trained for the toughest missions. His courage earned him two Purple Hearts and the respect of a grateful nation. But we must also remember the heroes whose wounds were invisible. Those who may have returned home but for whom the battlefield never truly let go. Some carried the burdens of war deep within, until they could carry them no longer. They, too, deserve our remembrance. Their pain, though unseen, was real. Their sacrifice, though quiet, was profound. This Memorial Day, let us do more than enjoy a day off. Let us reflect. Let us give thanks. And let us resolve to honor every fallen hero by living lives worthy of their sacrifice. On behalf of the Sussex County Republican Party, may we keep their memory alive, not just today, but always. Their duty was to serve. Ours is to remember.

PRESS CONFERENCE TOMORROW, WED 6-18 AT 1 PM
ON STEPS OF LEGISLATIVE HALL
Exposing the Lack of Representation in the 20th District
From Sussex GOP Chair, Daniel Willis - As the Chairman of the Sussex County Republican Party, I want to bring your attention to a growing and deeply troubling issue — the continued lack of representation in Delaware’s 20th Senate District. For months, residents of the 20th District have been without a voice in Dover. This absence not only disrespects the voters of Sussex County but raises serious questions about transparency and accountability within our state government. The urgency of this issue was brought into sharp focus earlier today in an exclusive Coast TV News interview, where Delaware State Representative Madinah Wilson-Anton broke ranks with her fellow Democrats and made sweeping allegations about the party’s handling of Rep. Stell Parker-Selby’s prolonged absence. Rep. Wilson-Anton revealed that after Rep. Parker-Selby’s absence was questioned publicly in March, Democratic lawmakers allegedly discussed strategies to conceal her disappearance — including rotating cars in her parking space to give the illusion that she was present at Legislative Hall. “A [legislative] member came up to me and some other members and said, ‘Be careful, they’re out here recording,’” Rep. Wilson-Anton recalled. “And in that conversation, it was suggested that we as members think about rotating cars and parking in her parking spot. I was so taken aback.” This kind of deception is unacceptable. It’s a betrayal of public trust and a direct insult to the people of the 20th District. We invite you to join the Sussex County Republican Party on the steps of Legislative Hall in Dover at 1:00 PM on Wednesday, June 18 for a press conference where we will share important updates, call for accountability, and stand firmly for transparent representation. CoastTV will be on site covering the event. Now is the time to stand together and ensure that Sussex County is not ignored.

Message from Sussex GOP Chair, Daniel Willis
JUNE 18th PRESS CONFERENCE: Exposing the Lack of Representation in the 20th District
In light of recent events. How telling do you feel the deception of the DE majority caucus is? We want to hear from you!! We’re now in 2025. We believe the people of Sussex County—and all Delawareans—deserve transparency, accountability, and active representation in Dover. That is not a partisan issue—it is a foundational one. What we’re seeing today in the situation with Representative District 20 is flat out deception. It is not just about health—it’s about how Democratic leadership chose secrecy over honesty. It’s about how they hid the absence and tried to mislead the public, even allegedly instructing members to park in her designated spot to cover it up. This isn’t about what happened in the past. This is about today. It’s about making sure no district goes without representation for months with no end in sight. We’re not here to relive the past—we’re here to fix the future. And that starts with taking corrective action now so the mistakes of this moment are never repeated. Sincerely, Daniel Willis Chair, Sussex County Republican Party

This Independence Day, Help Us Finish the Fight They Started
Dear Sussex County Republicans, On July 4th, 1776, a courageous group of patriots signed their names to an idea so powerful that it shook the world: that freedom belongs to the people, not to kings, tyrants, or corrupt elites. That idea didn’t just create a nation; it created a responsibility. A responsibility that now falls to us. Here in Sussex County, we’re carrying that torch. While others stay silent, we speak up. While others retreat, we fight forward. And right now, we are preparing for one of the most important battles in Delaware: the special election in the 20th District. The Democrats tried to deceive the public. They lied, they covered it up, and when they got caught, they quietly walked away, hoping no one would notice. But we noticed. And we are mobilizing to take that seat back and restore truth and transparency to Dover. This Independence Day, I’m asking you to stand with us, not just in celebration, but in commitment. 👉 Donate $17.76 to honor the spirit of our founding. 👉 Donate $1,776 if you’re ready to make history again. This isn’t just another election. It’s a turning point. The line was drawn in 1776. Let’s draw ours now. For Faith. For Freedom. For Sussex. Let’s take the fight to them.

Continued Push for Transparency in the 20th District
Dear Sussex County Republicans, This past week, I had the opportunity to sit down with Coast TV (NBC affiliate) reporter Zakiya Jennings alongside Representative Timothy Dukes, House Minority Leader, to address the ongoing absence of 20th District Representative Stell Parker Selby and the silence that has surrounded it. From all corners of our county, we continue to hear the same message: “We want answers. We want transparency. We want representation.” That outcry motivated our initial letter and continues to drive our efforts behind the scenes to get clear, direct updates for voters. Why now? The timing of this interview was deliberate. We’ve just come out of a two-week legislative break and are heading into Memorial Day and the final stretch of the General Assembly’s session, a time often marked by back-and-forth days and legislative lulls. We wanted to make sure one thing stayed top of mind: Republicans have been the consistent voice calling for accountability and transparency. This is also a textbook example of what strong communication and partnership between the County Party and legislative leadership should look like. I want to sincerely thank Representative Dukes and the entire House Republican Caucus for their leadership and collaboration in standing up for the voters of Sussex County.
