Reports show that Delaware had the second-highest net in-migration rate of all U.S. states in 2024, and 35% of in-migrants in 2022 were 55 or older. How do you think that affects the state and its infrastructure? Is this a rate that needs to decrease? What steps can be taken to do so?

My son just turned 1. As I watch him take his first steps and say his first words, I worry about the drowning world we’re handing to him. Here in Maryland, the consequences of climate change are no longer abstract. They’re visible in every tideline and storm surge, in every flooded road and acre of salt-ruined farmland.

We are pleased that our Delaware legislators passed House Bill 140 and that Gov. Meyer signed the bill into law May 20. This legislation gives end-of-life options to those who are terminally ill, providing the right to choose a death with some peaceful comfort and dignity.
