Guest Post By Jason330:
Sarah,
I just finished reading your latest newsletter, and I hope you’ll take this message in the spirit of urgency and shared concern with which it’s written.
To be honest, the newsletter could have been written in 1990 — and that’s what unsettled me most. It lays out important policy updates and district-focused accomplishments, but it says nothing about the most dangerous reality of our political moment: Donald Trump’s increasingly explicit, unapologetic assault on democracy.
From his call for redistricting maps in Texas to his threats of political violence and promises of authoritarian revenge, Trump is no longer hinting — he’s declaring. And yet, far too many Democratic leaders are still behaving as if normal politics can be played around the edges.
I know you feel your role in Congress is to fight for Delaware. But I also believe that showing courage, naming the threat plainly, and demanding moral leadership from within your own party is one of the most meaningful ways you can serve our state, and the country. I worry that history will judge this moment not just by who had a strong voting record, but by who raised their voices when it counted most.
Please speak out. Not just in votes and quiet conversations, but in statements, interviews, and action. Many of us are looking for leaders with the guts to tell the truth and the spine to call their own party to more.
I’m still hopeful. And I still believe in your leadership. But I’m asking you to meet this moment with the urgency and moral clarity it demands.
Sincerely,
Jason Scott
