While Delaware faces many statewide challenges, the concerns I hear throughout the 32nd District vary by community. In the Dover area, residents consistently tell me public safety and stronger community protection are their top priorities. In the southern part of the district, families are concerned about rising costs and the potential impact of proposed data centers, including whether infrastructure and utility costs could be passed on to residents. I will fight for transparent government, responsible budgeting, safer neighborhoods, stronger mental health services, and policies that protect taxpayers while addressing the root causes of crime and strengthening our communities.
Homelessness is a complex issue, and we have to peel back the layers before we can create effective solutions. There is no single cause. Some individuals work full time but cannot afford housing because wages have not kept pace with rising rents and many cannot meet income requirements. Others struggle with untreated mental illness, addiction, trauma, domestic violence, disability, or unexpected financial hardship. I support legislation that expands affordable housing, mental health and addiction treatment, workforce development, and coordinated support services that help people achieve long term stability and independence while using taxpayer dollars responsibly.
I support responsible gun ownership, including safe storage, but we must ensure any legislation respects the constitutional rights of law abiding citizens to keep and bear arms. We also have to address the root causes of violence, including trauma, untreated mental illness, gang activity, and repeat violent offenders. Our focus should be on those who illegally possess and use firearms, not responsible gun owners. I support stronger oversight of online firearm parts purchases, tougher penalties for prohibited individuals and repeat offenders caught with illegal firearms, and meaningful enforcement that protects both public safety and constitutional rights.
Healthcare should focus on prevention, affordability, and access. We must identify and address the root causes of illness instead of simply treating symptoms. Delaware should strengthen primary care, expand access to mental health and substance use treatment, address healthcare workforce shortages, improve price transparency, and invest in preventive and community based care. By intervening earlier and improving access to quality care, we can improve health outcomes, reduce long term costs, and build healthier families and communities.
