Platform

Our antiquated public school funding formula hails back to the 1940s, hurting Red Clay schools and forcing us to fight to save our high schools. Red Clay is at risk of losing our federally-funded free universal school lunch, and Delaware’s legislation to fund free school lunch at the state level was blocked by our representative in the State House. 1 in 6 Delaware kids is food insecure and we have the highest rate of school meals debt in the nation, but our own leaders in Dover would rather spend $100M to renovate their own legislative offices.

Together, we will:

Empowering Students and Teachers

Raise Teacher Pay

to attract and retain First Rate teachers in the First State.

Fix the School Funding Formula

to fully fund our schools, reduce administrative costs, and direct more resources to Red Clay students who need them.

Pass Free School Meals

to guarantee once and for all: not one more hungry child in Delaware public and charter schools.

The housing crisis is pushing seniors out of their homes and holding back young people like me from starting a family and staying here in Delaware. And it’s only getting worse: 25,000 Delawareans now pay over half their income in rent.

Together, we will:

Housing We Can Afford

Stop AI Data Centers from Raising Delmarva Rates

  1. Block data centers from burdening our state with utility costs, environmental damage, and noise pollution.

  2. Kill Delmarva’s rate hikes and distribution charges.

Protect Renters

  1. End junk fees for renters at apartment complexes.

  2. Protect renters experiencing crises or natural disasters from eviction.

  3. Meet the full needs of the Delaware Housing Needs Assessment and build affordable, supportive housing to address homelessness.

Fix The Property Tax Disaster

  1. Leave no stone unturned in the full investigation of the statewide property tax reassessment process and Tyler Technologies.

  2. Fight for a lower tax burden on working class and middle class families.

Raising Wages

Delaware’s minimum wage is lower than New Jersey’s, and Delaware lags behind 15 other states in tying the minimum wage to inflation. The cost of groceries, gas, and childcare has hit Delaware workers too hard.

Together, we will raise the minimum wage to:

$20 by 2035

AND

Tie It to Inflation
