STOP HB 255: The Democrat Job-Killer Bill Hurting Delaware Families!

From Gene Truono,

Chairman of the Delaware Republican Party

Fellow Delawareans, Democrats in Dover are pushing HB 255—a terrible bill that slams small businesses, destroys jobs, and raises costs for your family. It's time to fight back!

Why Should YOU Care?

This Bill Hits Your Family Hard; Here's How:

• Job Security for Your Kids: Businesses can't grow or hire as easily—your children face fewer good jobs, forcing them to leave Delaware for opportunities.

• Your Wallet Takes a Hit: Extra taxes on businesses mean higher prices for groceries, gas, and services—squeezing your budget when inflation is already tough.

• Small Businesses Suffer: Local shops close or lay off workers—your neighbors lose jobs, communities weaken, and our economy stalls.

• No Help for Recovery: After hard times, this adds burdens—chasing companies away and making Delaware less competitive for families like yours.

Who Is Pushing HB 255?

• Democrats have a one-seat supermajority in the House, forcing it through without real bipartisan input.

• Led by Rep. Kendra Johnson and her allies, politicians who are disconnected from your daily struggles.

What Does HB 255 Do?

• It stops Delaware businesses from using a helpful federal tax break called "accelerated depreciation."

• Easy breakdown: Businesses buy tools or machines? Federal law lets them deduct the full cost from taxes immediately, freeing up cash for hiring and growth.

• HB 255 blocks this at the state level; and businesses pay more state taxes, with no fast relief.

When Is This Happening?

• Now, in the 2025 session, the House has already passed it.

• Heading to the Senate soon, contact them before it's law!

HB 255 is wasteful and wrong—big government over jobs and families. The Delaware Republican Party says NO! We fight for:

• Pro-job policies without extra taxes.

• Less red tape for business success.

• A fair government for every Delawarean.

Act Fast:

• Call or email your State Senator, demand a NO vote on HB 255!

• Your story matters: Share how this hurts your family, and they'll listen.

  
  

This is Democrat overreach in action. In 2026, vote Republican for balance, jobs, and a secure future for your kids. Let's protect Delaware together!

With Resolve,

Gene Truono, Chairman

Delaware Republican Party
