Message from Delaware GOP Chair, Julianne Murray
Urgent: Stop the Democrats’ Overreach in Legislative Hall!
As your Delaware Republican Party Chair, I’m raising the alarm from Dover, where Delaware Democrats are trying to use their supermajority to push a dangerous agenda in Legislative Hall that threatens our local communities, our economy, and our freedoms. We need YOUR immediate support to fight back and protect Delaware’s future!
The Democrats are orchestrating a power grab from Legislative Hall, mobilizing their base through platforms like Mobilize and dominating committee rooms to silence opposition. Their agenda is about consolidating control, and they’re counting on us to stay quiet.
Take Senate Bill 159 (SB 159), passed by the Senate on June 10, 2025, which strips Sussex County of its authority to deny permits for electric substations tied to renewable energy projects, like US Wind’s controversial offshore wind farm. Democrats claim it’s about energy reliability, but Republicans like Sen. Gerald Hocker warn it’s a blatant state overreach, nullifying local decisions and turning communities into “doormats” for projects that benefit corporate interests over residents. This bill, now in the House Natural Resources & Energy Committee, could retroactively override Sussex County’s 2024 permit denial, paving the way for a Maryland wind project to disrupt Delaware’s coast.

And that’s not all. On June 25, 2025, Gov. Matt Meyer signed Executive Order 11, making Delaware a “shield state” for gender-affirming care, protecting providers and patients from out-of-state investigations. This move, which builds on a stalled bill to expand such care, alarms Republicans like Sen. Bryant Richardson, who argue it undermines parental rights and promotes controversial treatments for minors without sufficient oversight. It’s a clear example of the Democrats’ radical social agenda being pushed through Legislative Hall.
Their fiscal irresponsibility is just as concerning. The Democrats’ $6.58 billion FY2026 budget—a 7.4% increase over last year—threatens to deplete the $469 million Budget Stabilization Fund, leaving Delaware vulnerable. This reckless spending will burden families and small businesses with higher taxes and fees, all while the Democrats advance their ideological priorities in Dover.
We can’t let them prevail. The Delaware GOP is fighting to hold the line, but we need YOUR support to close the voter registration gap, recruit strong candidates, and stop these harmful policies. While the Democrats dominate Wilmington, we have the heart of Delaware—Sussex and Kent Counties—where hardworking families are ready to stand for local control and fiscal responsibility.
The Democrats think their Legislative Hall supermajority makes them unstoppable. But Delaware Republicans are tougher than that. Let’s show them we won’t let our state fall to their overreaching policies.
For local control, freedom, and a stronger Delaware,
