Delaware — it’s official.
I’m humbled and honored to be your new United States Senator.

The Trump administration continues to make it harder to meet our basic needs.
But the American people made it clear — they want policies that make life MORE affordable, and we’re ready to deliver.

While I commend the work @SenatorHeinrich and @SenWhitehouse put into negotiating this permitting reform package which included two of my bills, this bill still falls short.
I’m hopeful that we’ll be able to negotiate a more comprehensive package in the new Congress.

Open enrollment is underway, and for millions of Americans, that means logging on to see rising premiums and higher deductibles.
We have an opportunity to change course, and I will be fighting to lower costs and make affordable health care a reality for more Americans.
The American people have said loud and clear: your cruelty isn't keeping us safe and has no place in our communities.
Safe, affordable housing for all?
That's going to be a priority for the Democratic Congress.

Child care?
That's going to be a priority for the Democratic Congress.
It's time to build a brighter future for our country, and we're ready to get to work.
My full statement:
The war in Iran is hurting all of us, but especially our farmers. DE farmers are paying almost $300 more just to fill up their tractors!
Enough is enough. It’s time to bring this war to an end.

As a State of Neighbors, we are heartbroken the tragic incidents of gun violence in Newark and Ellendale. I’m thankful for our first responders.
I will continue to work as your senator for strong communities - from addressing this public health epidemic to a focus on PUBLIC safety.
As a mom and grandmother, I share grief and send prayers to those impacted and their loved ones.
Delaware! It's that time of year — there are just FOUR days left to vote in the 2026 election.
It's time to make a plan, grab a friend, and get out to vote! Find all the info you need at iwillvote.com
Today we mourn the loss of a true powerhouse and one of my sister Marla's personal heroes.
As someone who comes from a line of social workers, Dolores Huerta was a legend. My heart and prayers are with her family, friends, and loved ones today.

President Trump continues to abuse the Department of Justice for his personal gain.
The DOJ should protect the voice of the American people, not the President's selfish agenda.
President Trump says he directed the DOJ to preemptively file a lawsuit to block the certification of the Alaska Senate race if the Republican incumbent narrowly loses. abcnews.link/WqKtYhM
There is a new report out today that high gas prices have helped Trump make $35 MILLION off oil and gas stocks.
So Trump does care about gas prices, he just doesn't care about bringing them down them for us.

My friend and colleague @SenLBR has long been an advocate for blood clot awareness and prevention — an issue that is deeply personal to her. I'm proud of her for asking important questions about how the NFL and the Eagles handled Jalen Hurts' blood clot diagnosis.
Raising awareness, encouraging prevention, and demanding accountability can save lives.
I lost my husband, Charles, to blood clots. Yesterday would have been our 20th wedding anniversary.
I know how serious they can be - America should know too.
@NFL owes Eagles fans, and the American people, an explanation for the decisions that put @JalenHurts in harm's way.
This administration has broken one promise after another.
Trump promised to 'end' inflation. He promised the greatest economy in our country's history.
The numbers tell a different story ⬇️
Breaking news: Inflation rose to a 3.7 percent annual pace in September, extending a relentless climb this year pushed by surging energy prices and souring Americans on the economy as they head to the polls in three weeks. wapo.st/3VOYSVw

I’m so grateful for my colleague @SenLBR's leadership on this issue. Raising awareness of blood clots and developing better protocols will save lives and prevent tragedies. nbcsports.com/nfl/profootbal…
This is unprecedented and unacceptable.
There is NO reason for ICE agents to invade our schools and terrorize our kids. Schools should be safe places to learn— we need accountability so this can't happen again.
