It is unacceptable that schools remain closed a week after the last snowflake fell in Delaware. I have spent the last several days directing state agencies to do everything possible to get our kids back in school.

The state of our state is strong.

Delaware is moving forward by focusing on what matters most right now: affordability, opportunity, and a future that works for working families.

Delawareans should always feel secure in their communities, especially during severe winter weather. That’s why I’m declaring a State of Emergency in Delaware, starting Sunday morning.

On the anniversary of Roe v. Wade, we remember a moment that affirmed a fundamental truth: women deserve autonomy, dignity, and the freedom to make deeply personal decisions about their own bodies.

No hate. No fear. Immigrants are welcome here.

Today, I stood with hundreds of Delawareans to honor the life of Renee Nicole Good, along with the life of every other person killed by ICE over the past year.

The second half of 2025 was about putting Delaware families first, and delivering real results:

The killing of Renee Good yesterday in Minneapolis was a senseless tragedy that could have and should have been prevented.

Delaware put a hero to rest.

For more than a decade, Corporal Snook served our state with integrity, professionalism, and steadfast commitment. He stood watch over our community with quiet resolve, answering the call to protect and serve, even when it required the ultimate sacrifice.

What I wish the president said in his first major television address of 2026 – we are going to lower prices and improve the economy.

What he said instead was “We’re going to run Venezuela now.”

This Christmas came in the shadow of profound loss. While families celebrated together, first responders across Delaware were on duty, protecting our communities and placing themselves in harm's way.

December 24, 2025 at 2:03 AM
We are closely monitoring the situation at the DMV in New Castle, and I want to be clear that there is no active threat to the public at this time. Law enforcement acted swiftly to secure the scene, and the shooter has been confirmed deceased.

No one should go into debt just to stay alive.

That's why we're cancelling nearly $19M in medical debt for more 18,000 Delawareans through our partnership with Undue Medical Debt, helping hardworking Delaware families breathe easier this holiday season.

I want Delawareans to know about Victor Acurio Suarez.

Victor is a Seaford resident and asylum seeker with severe developmental delays who has been detained by federal immigration authorities. What has happened to him is deeply disturbing. 🧵⬇️

We need dramatic change to deliver the educational outcomes families in New Castle County, and all across Delaware, expect and deserve. Every taxpayer deserves to have more of their dollars go to their child's classroom, and less to bureaucracy and administrative costs.

The first night of Hanukkah should've been a time of celebration for Sydney's Jewish community. Instead, 11 people were gunned down and 29 others wounded in an act of terror.

In this week's #MeyerMinute, we stopped by 10kthelongway to see how state and local support can help small businesses grow. Places like this create jobs, bring energy to our downtowns, & show what’s possible when talented Delawareans get the backing they need to thrive.
