As the Delaware General Assembly meets for its 152nd session, I wanted to share some inspiring information with you.
Our leadership should represent the diversity of our great state. This session, the chamber has its most diverse body of leaders yet. More than half of committees will be led by women, and 13 committees will be led in some capacity by people of color.
50 years ago, it would be unimaginable to see this type of diversity represented within our elected offices. But with significant time and effort, we've taken the steps to change that. Now, a woman can hold a statewide constitutional office and work alongside a diverse group of empowering figures of all backgrounds.
No one should feel elected office is unattainable to them just because of their circumstances.
That's why I believe we'll make great strides in the coming years to address the closest issues affecting our communities. With more and more people willing to make the leap, we'll see more innovative policy ideas to tackle problems contributing to issues like financial instability for Delawareans. With these types of shifts, we ALL win.
