Dear Delaware Patriots,
On this sacred Memorial Day, we pause to honor the extraordinary courage of our fallen heroes who sacrificed everything to defend liberty, freedom, and the American way of life. Their unwavering devotion calls us to match their resolve in the battles we face today. Let their legacy inspire us to fight boldly for a stronger, more prosperous Delaware where opportunity, security, and self-reliance prevail for every family.
Last week’s leaked DNC “autopsy” on their 2024 defeat lays bare the truth. As GOP Chairman Joe Gruters powerfully detailed in his Washington Reporter op-ed, Democrats chose men in women’s sports and criminal illegal aliens over American families, showing zero remorse.
The report admits their candidates were “incapable of projecting strength, unity, and leadership.” It glosses over the 40-year high inflation that crushed grocery bills, gas prices, and rent, while minimizing the border crisis and woke cultural extremism that alienated millions of voters. Just 24 hours after release, Democrats resumed their public infighting, proving they remain a party of chaos, excuses, and dysfunction.
While Democrats spiral, Republicans are united and moving forward with purpose. The RNC has already deployed 34 staffers across 17 states, investing seven figures into a dynamic ground game targeting the voters who secured victory in 2024.
This is Delaware’s defining moment. Our state’s small size is our greatest strategic advantage. In 2026, we have the historic opportunity to shatter one-party Democrat rule, build a powerful conservative coalition, and rewrite Delaware’s future with fiscal responsibility, safe communities, parental rights, and economic freedom. We will defy all projections and deliver the change our families deserve.
To power this critical fight, we are launching several aggressive new fundraising activations in the coming weeks and months. One exciting example is our new Delaware Ambassadors program. We are sharing the top-line concept today and will release full details while launching this voter activation initiative this week.
The core goal of Delaware Ambassadors is grassroots fundraising and activating Delaware conservatives across the entire state. This dynamic program features three powerful components:
Host house parties to energize local conservatives and continuously raise money
Organize company and organization parties for broader reach
Forge business partnerships that offer donors meaningful incentives while promoting participating businesses
Delaware Ambassadors will generate significant short- and long-term fundraising and networking opportunities while igniting grassroots energy in all three counties. It creates endless possibilities to raise vital resources, connect with leaders who can help scale our efforts, recruit strong new candidates, and spark a fire in Delaware conservatives that proves we can make a real difference together.

This Memorial Day, let us transform our gratitude into unstoppable action. Honoring our heroes means committing ourselves fully to victory in 2026. Together, we will build the brighter future Delaware deserves.
Forward together we fight,
Gene Truono
Chairman,
Delaware Republican Party
