A New Chapter for District 41: Doug Conaway Steps Forward

After more than a decade of dedicated service, State Representative Rich Collins has announced he will retire at the end of his term, marking the close of a significant chapter for the 41st District. Collins, who has represented the district since 2014, built a reputation for advocating conservative principles, government accountability, and putting the needs of his community first.


His decision to step aside signals a transition in leadership—but not a departure from the values that have long defined Sussex County.


Continuing a Legacy of Conservative Leadership


Doug Conaway

Doug Conaway has stepped forward to carry that legacy into the future. His campaign centers on continuing the conservative values and strong representation that residents have come to expect, while also bringing a fresh perspective shaped by real-world experience.


As a small business owner and military veteran with more than 20 years of leadership experience, Conaway emphasizes service, accountability, and practical solutions. His campaign highlights a commitment to limited government and a focus on fighting for the interests of local families and taxpayers.


Focused on the Issues That Matter

Conaway’s platform reflects key priorities important to District 41 residents, including:

  • Education: Strengthening core academic foundations to prepare students for success

  • Taxes: Opposing new taxes and protecting hardworking Delawareans from rising costs

  • Energy: Promoting affordable, reliable energy and reducing dependence on outside sources

  • Healthcare: Expanding access and addressing affordability challenges in Sussex County

  • Infrastructure: Improving roads, bridges, and systems to support growth and safety

  • Second Amendment Rights: Upholding constitutional freedoms


These priorities underscore a commitment to responsible governance and maintaining quality of life across the district.


A Moment of Transition—and Opportunity

As District 41 looks ahead, the transition from Rep. Collins’ long-standing leadership offers both reflection and opportunity. His legacy of community-first representation continues to serve as a model for those seeking to lead.


Doug Conaway’s campaign positions him as a candidate ready to build on that foundation—focused on preserving the district’s values while addressing the challenges ahead.
