Dear Fellow Delaware Republicans and Conservatives,
My fellow patriots, as we embark on this new year—January 2026—a fire of hope and determination burns brightly in my heart. Today, with profound excitement and unyielding resolve, I announce the launch of our bold Delaware Republican Party 2026 Rebrand this very month. This is far more than a fresh look or a new logo; it is a clarion call to awakening, a rallying cry for every conservative soul in the First State to rise up and reclaim our future. For too long, we've been told that Delaware is hopelessly blue, that Republicans have no real chance against one-party Democrat rule. I say to you now, with every fiber of my being: That tired, defeatist story ends today! We are the bearers of freedom, prosperity, and the timeless American dream. We are enacting bold, transformative change—restoring balance to our legislature, igniting unprecedented excitement, and forging a movement that will inspire generations.
At the core of this rebrand beats our visionary Transformational Conservative Coalition for 2026—a mighty alliance that will shatter projections of midterm defeat and lay an unbreakable foundation for victory. This coalition will unite conservatives from the beaches of Sussex to the heart of New Castle, from the farms of Kent to every neighborhood in between. Together, we will preserve our cherished way of life, protect our families, and ensure Delaware remains a beacon of opportunity where the American dream thrives for all who dare to pursue it.
The status quo has failed us, but we refuse to accept it any longer. Delaware's intimate size is our superpower—a unique gift that allows us to connect deeply, mobilize swiftly, and drive real change where bigger states falter. Through this rebrand, we are unleashing that power: empowering conservatives to win more seats than ever imagined, raise record-breaking funds, and build a movement that defies the odds. We're adopting a cutting-edge, corporate-inspired business plan and strategy, fueled by innovative technology-driven initiatives that will revolutionize how we organize, communicate, and triumph.
Too often, our passionate conservatives have toiled in isolation, divided when we should be unstoppable. But this Transformational Coalition changes everything—it is the first bold step in recent years by the Delaware Republican Party to forge true collective success. By shattering silos and aligning under our shared mission, we are awakening a sleeping giant.
Our powerhouse coalition unites SIX VITAL PARTNERS in an unbreakable bond:
DE GOP Representatives: Our fearless elected leaders, blazing the trail with principled conservative action.
Donor Feedback Forum: A vibrant platform where your generous support shapes our strategy, ensuring every dollar fuels maximum impact.
Voter Feedback Forum: Your direct voice in our movement, empowering grassroots conservatives to guide our priorities and platform.
Conservative Groups & Organizations: Harnessing the energy of allied grassroots forces to expand our reach and amplify our message.
Independent Party of Delaware (IPOD): Building strategic bridges to welcome independents and broaden our winning coalition.

New Media & Press Strategy: A dynamic force to proclaim truth boldly and hold leaders accountable.
United in purpose and strategy, we will not only defy Democrat dominance in Delaware—we will emerge as an inspiring model for every blue state battling the entrenched machine. Picture it: Delaware leading the nation, proving that faith, unity, and innovation can turn the tide and restore conservative governance!
We're also unleashing a powerful new social media strategy—a vital service delivering reliable, timely news on state and national issues directly to you. We'll stand firmly in the arena, countering the misleading narratives and failures of Delaware's Democrat leadership with unapologetic truth. No longer will falsehoods go unchallenged; we are reclaiming the conversation and fueling the fire of informed activism.
And the best is yet to come: We're hosting a series of exhilarating, innovative events—fun-filled gatherings to raise crucial funds, forge lifelong connections, draw in fresh talent, and unite us all. These celebrations will awaken and activate Delaware's Silent Majority—the hardworking, value-driven citizens who've been waiting for this moment to stand tall and join the fight.
My friends, Delaware cries out for balance, for bold leadership, for a government that honors freedom over control. We deserve excitement, renewal, and victory—and together, we are delivering it! This rebrand and our Transformational Conservative Coalition mark the dawn of a new era. Stay tuned with us this month as we unveil our inspiring new identity and charge forward into action. Let us march united, hearts ablaze, toward a triumphant 2026!
Please stand with us. Volunteer, donate to our movement, and pledge your vote for Republican candidates in 2026. The thin blue line holds because patriots like you stand behind it.
With unwavering faith in you and our cause,
Gene Truono,
Chairman of the Delaware Republican Party
