Gene Truono, Chairman, Delaware Republican Party

As the warmth of Christmas gatherings lingers and we reflect on the blessings of family, faith, freedom, and opportunity, the Delaware Republican Party extends our heartfelt thanks to you. The holiday season reminds us of the hope that unites us—and the shared conservative values of hard work, entrepreneurship, and prosperity that make Delaware a special place to call home.

In this season of giving and renewal, we invite you to channel that spirit into building a brighter, more business-friendly future for our state. With the New Year approaching, there's no better time to renew our commitment to pro-growth policies that empower job creators, lower burdens on small businesses, and restore balance in Dover.
Delaware's small size is our greatest advantage: we can organize, mobilize, and win where bigger states can't. Together, we're building a powerful conservative coalition—including business leaders and entrepreneurs—to defy projections and flip seats in the critical 2026 midterms, ending one-party Democratic rule that has dominated since 2009.

Why Your Support Matters Now

Democrats' trifecta control has led to unchecked regulations, rising taxes, and a declining business climate that stifles growth and jobs. Your gift today will fuel grassroots efforts to recruit strong pro-business candidates, reach voters early, and fight for policies that put Delaware families and employers first.

Key Conservative Priorities for 2026

Pro-Business Growth—Cut red tape, reform the burdensome gross receipts tax, and reverse Delaware's slide in national rankings—falling to 24th in the 2026 Tax Foundation State Business Tax Climate Index as other states enact pro-growth reforms.

Stronger Economy—Create jobs, attract investment, and reverse rising unemployment trends in 2025 by fostering a welcoming environment for entrepreneurs and small businesses facing excessive regulations.

Better Education—Prioritize students over bureaucracy and indoctrination in a system spending over $21,000 per pupil yet failing in outcomes—ensuring accountability and excellence.

Lower Taxes—Fight the fallout from 2025 property reassessments, where many homeowners and businesses saw dramatic value spikes, leading to higher bills despite limited relief efforts.

Affordable Healthcare—Promote patient-centered reforms that increase choice, drive down costs through competition and innovation, and ensure access without government mandates or bureaucratic delays—opposing expansive programs that fuel out-of-control spending (Delaware outpaced its healthcare benchmark for the third straight year in 2023, with costs projected to rise 8.5%+ nationally in 2026) while protecting vulnerable families.

Safer Communities—Back law enforcement with common-sense policies to maintain positive crime trends while addressing community concerns.

These priorities aren't just issues—they're the foundation of renewed hope and prosperity we're building for Delaware's families, workers, and business owners. By investing now, you'll help us recruit candidates, organize door-to-door, and turn out voters to win seats and bring pro-business balance back to Delaware.

This is a fundraising red alert!

• We can stop Democrat dominance in 2026 from one-party rule—but only if we have the cash, resources, and YOU to fight!

• Every dollar counts in our small state, and your support right now positions us to defy the odds in 2026.

Thank you for your generosity this holiday season. Wishing you and your family a joyful, blessed New Year filled with hope, opportunity, and success!

• Every dollar you give right now enables us to build a stronger Delaware Republican Party that has the ability to wake up voters, successfully carry out our 2026 Get Ready plan supported by the RNC, and ignite the firepower we need to crush the predicted Democrat landslide.
