The Delaware Republican Party has launched the Delaware Cornerstone Initiative, a statewide effort to prepare the next generation of conservative leaders. Led by Sussex GOP Chair Daniel Willis, the initiative aims to equip young conservatives with the principles, training, and support needed to lead with integrity and purpose. Programs and outreach efforts will roll out in the coming weeks.

Chairman Gene Truono urges Delaware Republicans to “run smarter, not smaller” following recent elections. He calls for a data-driven strategy, stronger community outreach, and candidates rooted in Delaware values. Truono also warns that HB 255 threatens jobs, small businesses, and the state’s economic stability. Victory in 2026 begins now—with organization, accountability, and a smarter path forward for Delaware.

The 39th District proudly celebrates Barbara Kilby, honored with the National Federation of Republican Women’s American Patriot Award. Recognized for her outstanding service, leadership, and dedication at the Sussex County GOP Headquarters and First State Freedom Store, Barbara exemplifies patriotism and community spirit. Her work strengthens our operations, our volunteers, and our shared Republican mission.

Delaware has a growing addiction—and it’s not drugs, but spending. As Rep. Danny Short explains, the state’s budget process masks a dangerous dependence on ever-rising revenue. Federal windfalls and strong economies fueled unchecked spending, building a budget far beyond sustainable levels. Now, looming shortfalls reveal the hard truth: Delaware must break its spending habit before the withdrawal hits.
