March 24, 2026 Happy National Ag Day! Today we’re celebrating the hardworking farmers and ranchers who feed, fuel, and clothe the world. Agriculture is Delaware’s number one industry, driving our economy and supporting thousands of jobs. Our farms generate more revenue per acre than those in most other states, and 96% are family owned—many passed down through generations. It’s the perfect day to recognize the incredible work that goes into agriculture and the vital role it pl

March 20, 2026 To see the video that accompanied the following WMDT article, click here . Millsboro is the friendliest city in Delaware. That’s according to rankings out of the popular neighborhood connection app Nextdoor.

On March 28, veterans, families, and supporters will walk across Kent County from Little Creek, Delaware to Marydel, Maryland for the Walk for Vets – Walk of Honor. The walk honors veterans lost to the silent wounds of war and raises awareness for PTSD, TBI, MST, homelessness, and suicide. Beginning at 8:00 AM at the Little Creek Fire Department, the event reminds us that even when the war ends, the battle for many veterans continues—and every step we take together matters.

Today was an amazing day. I spoke with a 78-year-old gentleman who has never voted before in his life. After our conversation, he completed his voter registration and will be voting for the first time — in both the Primary and the General Election. Moments like this remind us that voting isn’t just about presidential races. Local elections, especially in the 41st District, shape our communities and our future.

With housing costs and electric bills already rising, adding more regulation would create delays and increase costs for Delaware families. We must protect affordability and focus on real solutions, not unnecessary burdens.
