Dear John,

Next year, Delawareans will head to the polls and cast their vote for the next Governor of the First State.

As Lieutenant Governor, I’ve always done my best to lead with boldness, compassion, and integrity – and I’m proudly running for Governor to continue my service to the good people of Delaware with the same values at the heart of this campaign. 

My son and I at my inauguration as Lieutenant Governor of Delaware.

I got into politics to help people, plain and simple. My calling is to care for others – I worked as a nurse, a professor, and a State Senator before I was elected as Lieutenant Governor six years ago. In all of these roles, I have wholeheartedly dedicated myself to our state’s communities and their well-being. 

I’ve worked alongside Governor Carney to lay a foundation of economic vitality in our state, invest in education, and improve access to affordable health care. I’ve also personally led the effort to create a Behavioral Health Consortium to address the opioid epidemic, substance use disorders, and mental health challenges facing the First State. 

In running to be the next Governor of Delaware, I am focused on continuing that service to my community and the state that has raised me and my family for generations. 

We must stand up for women’s rights to make their own health care decisions. We must address the scourge of gun violence so our kids are safe at school. And we must empower Delawareans to thrive in the face of rising costs and rising temperatures.

With one year to go until the gubernatorial election, I’m asking for your support. Will you make a donation to my campaign so we can make Delaware the best place to live, work, and raise a family?

Thank you, John – together, we'll create a brighter future for the First State.
