Nearly 2,396 people in Delaware are on dialysis, dying at a rate of 22% annually. I would like to express my gratitude to our Rep. Sarah McBride, D-Del., for agreeing to co-sponsor the End Kidney Deaths Act (House Resolution 2687).

I recently read a well-written Opinion by Steve LeBoon (“Is FOP letter akin to a canary in a coal mine?”). In his piece, he supports Dover Police Chief Tom Johnson and states that crime has steadily declined under his tenure.

During my time in the General Assembly, I have consistently been mindful of the potential for legislators to abuse the public’s trust and misuse their influence and authority to benefit themselves, their supporters or entities in which they have vested interests.

In 2015, I had the privilege of addressing members of the Sussex Unity group in Georgetown during the 50th anniversary of the 1965 Voting Rights Act. While mostly covering the history of the law and its benefits, I warned of several issues that could weaken it or reverse gains.
