In the race for Delaware governor, Democrat Matt Meyer stands tall as the clear choice to lead our state into a prosperous and inclusive future. As New Castle County executive, he has consistently demonstrated a unique and valuable ability to navigate complex financial challenges. He has ethically and transparently allocated the county’s valuable financial resources — wisely investing in our environment, economy and critical public services, and always ensuring that the trains run on time.
When I knock on doors for Executive Meyer, I’m impressed by the incredibly personal accounts of his positive impact on the lives of so many Delawareans. His dedication to our underprivileged communities is obvious and sincere. Both as an educator and as county executive, he has a proven record of working hand in hand with the oft-overlooked, ensuring that everyone’s voice is heard in the decisions that affect constituents’ lives. Meyer’s commitment to social equity goes beyond rhetoric; it’s evident in his actions, from expanding affordable housing initiatives to providing unique residential opportunities for down-on-their-luck Delawareans and tirelessly working to improve access to quality education and health care.
As a transgender woman who has worked with Executive Meyer, it is easy to see that his appreciation for my authenticity is natural and automatic. I deeply respect him for his unwavering dedication to the fundamental promise that governance is best when it reflects the governed. I know from personal experience that he is committed to building an administration that mirrors the rich diversity of our state, ensuring that every Delawarean — regardless of race, ethnicity, gender, sexual orientation or gender identity — has a seat at the table and opportunity for success. In a time when inclusivity and fairness are more important than ever, Meyer’s vision for Delaware is one where all communities are valued and empowered.
With his executive experience, sound fiscal policies and rock-ribbed commitment to inclusivity, Matt is the leader Delaware needs to ensure that the First State is a place where we all thrive.
