A lifelong educator, healthcare advocate, and community leader, Dr. Miller brings a results-driven, bipartisan approach to one of the state’s most closely watched swing districts. “As a mother, educator, administrator, and public servant, I’ve spent my life solving problems, not playing politics,” said Dr. Miller. “The 20th District deserves a representative who listens, collaborates, and leads with integrity.” Her campaign focuses on these key priorities: · Fix our Traffic Issues · Proactive Constituent Service · Protecting Farms and Open Space · Smart Growth with Infrastructure · Common Sense Solutions for Everyday Problems With a strong record in education and public leadership, Dr. Miller offers real-world experience not partisan talking points.

Message from Sussex GOP Chair, Daniel Willis
She Didn’t Give Birth To Me. But She’s My Mom.
August 2, 2025
Dear Sussex County Republicans, Three days before my first birthday, I was adopted. My mother didn’t carry me for nine months. She didn’t bring me into this world. She didn’t share my DNA. But she chose me. She showed up for every scraped knee, every late-night worry, every tough conversation. She gave me what every child deserves: stability, devotion, and unconditional love. She is my mom. No qualifiers. No exceptions. And she’s not alone. Across Sussex County and this country, thousands of women mother with their hearts, not just their biology. Foster moms, stepmoms, grandmothers, aunts, and adoptive mothers carry out the sacred role of “mom” every single day. They deserve recognition, not erasure. That is why I cannot stay silent, and why we cannot stay silent, when Alonna Berry, the Democratic candidate for Delaware’s 20th House District, proudly refers to herself on her campaign website as a “birthing person.” That term doesn’t include more people. It erases them. It reduces motherhood to a clinical act. Cold and dismissive. It overlooks the women who earn the title of “mom” through love, sacrifice, and everyday courage. Motherhood is not a political experiment. It is not a label to be sanitized. It is sacred. It is human. It is worth defending. This kind of ideology isn’t coming from moms. It is being pushed by radical activists. And it’s already showing up in campaign platforms and public policy. If we stay quiet, we risk erasing the very women who raised us. So today, the Sussex County Republican Party is launching a countywide effort to speak out and celebrate the true meaning of motherhood: 📸 Stand with us • Post a photo of your mom—biological or not—on Facebook or Instagram • Use the hashtag #CallHerMom • Tag @SussexCountyRepublicans and help us celebrate every kind of motherhood Let’s send a message that is personal, proud, and unapologetic. We see the moms who step in. We see the grandmas who raise their grandkids. We see the foster moms who hold hearts they didn’t grow. We see the stepmoms who love without obligation. We honor them. We call them what they are. Call her Mom. With conviction, Daniel Willis Chairman, Sussex County Republican Party
“Birthing Person” Running for Office?
July 28, 2025
“As a birthing person, currently living through the fourth trimester, I know firsthand the challenges, dangers, and uncertainty surrounding reproductive healthcare.” “Birthing person”!? This is how one of the two candidates running for office this week in Delaware describes herself.
From Rep. Bryan Shupe, District 36
Why the August 5th Special Election Matters — Support Dr. Nikki Miller for District 20!
As many of you know, there will be a special election on August 5th for House District 20, just south of our own district. I strongly encourage you to support Dr. Nikki Miller, a native of southern Delaware and a lifelong public servant in education. Dr. Nikki has served as a social studies teacher, assistant principal, and principal in the Cape Henlopen School District, and now works as a Supervisor of Instruction in Seaford. Her deep roots in our community and unmatched qualifications make her the most experienced and prepared candidate in this race. But this election is about more than just qualifications — it’s about protecting checks and balances in our state government. If her opponent wins, it will bring the majority party one step closer to a supermajority in the Delaware House of Representatives — and that’s dangerous. A supermajority would allow them to amend our state Constitution without any input or opposition from the minority party — and without meaningful public debate. We cannot afford to get closer to one-party control with no accountability. Please visit 👉 NikkiMillerforDE.com to learn more, volunteer, or contribute to her campaign. Let’s protect our voice and keep Delaware’s democracy balanced.
