Dear Friends and Neighbors,

As the leaves change and pumpkins adorn our doorsteps, I want to wish you all a Happy Halloween! This time of year brings out the joy of community gatherings, festive decorations, and the excitement of our children dressing up in their favorite costumes. It's a reminder of the vibrant and caring community we are all proud to be a part of.

But as families everywhere prepare for their night of fun, we are also entering the final weeks before the election on November 5, 2024. Your support and engagement have been the cornerstone of our campaign, and I am thrilled to share some exciting updates with you.

1. Planned Parenthood Advocacy Fund of Delaware: Protecting Reproductive Rights

I am honored to have received the support of the Planned Parenthood Advocacy Fund of Delaware, a nonprofit committed to advocating for reproductive rights and ensuring access to quality healthcare services for all. Their backing strengthens our shared commitment to protect individual freedoms and promote comprehensive healthcare in our community. I will continue to fight for policies that safeguard the rights of women and all individuals to make informed decisions about their health.

2. Delaware AFL-CIO: Championing Workers' Rights

I am proud to have earned the support of the Delaware AFL-CIO, a federation representing thousands of hardworking men and women across our state. This recognition reflects my unwavering commitment to championing workers' rights, fair wages, and safe working conditions. As we strive for economic growth, we must ensure that prosperity is shared by all who contribute to it.

3. Delaware Coalition Against Gun Violence: Ensuring Community Safety

The support from the Delaware Coalition Against Gun Violence is a testament to our shared dedication to reducing gun violence through advocacy, education, and public policy reform. I remain committed to promoting sensible gun laws and initiatives that protect our families, ensuring our neighborhoods are safe places to live, learn, and play.

4. Delaware Cares – Family Certified: Supporting Paid Family Leave

I am grateful for the support from Delaware Cares – Family Certified, an organization advocating for paid family leave in Delaware. This recognition highlights my commitment to supporting initiatives that benefit working families throughout the state. Every family deserves the opportunity to care for their loved ones without risking their financial stability.

5. Council 81 AFSCME: Supporting Public Service Workers

Receiving the support of Council 81 AFSCME, a union representing public service employees across the state, is truly an honor. This backing reflects my dedication to supporting public workers and advocating for fair labor practices and workers' rights. Our public servants are the backbone of our society, and I am committed to ensuring they are treated with the respect and fairness they deserve.

As we enjoy the festivities of Halloween and the beauty of the fall season, let's also remember the importance of participating in our democracy. Election Day is November 5th, and your vote is your voice. Together, we can continue to make positive changes in our community.

Your support and involvement make a real difference. If you're able to contribute to my re-election campaign, this is a critical moment for us to show our collective strength. Every dollar we raise goes directly toward advancing our shared values and vision for a better future.

Let's celebrate this season of togetherness by reaffirming our commitment to each other and to the values that make our community strong.

Thank you for standing with me. Wishing you a safe and happy Halloween!

Warmest regards,

Laura Sturgeon
