Delaware Political Weekly: Week Ending May 28, 2026
1. Lobbyist Bundling Party For Cruce And Nnamdi Postponed. Was supposed to take place on Tuesday at the Columbus Inn. Was postponed, no new date set. Was it postponed because it was a ‘bad look’? It really doesn’t matter. The same lobbyists, many of them carrying checks from literally dozens of their clients, will make […]

1. Stephanie Bolden Draws Legit Progressive Challenger. Lest you’ve forgotten who Bolden is, please allow me to reintroduce her to you: https://www.instagram.com/reel/DLqfsYdMsmz/?igsh=MWlwbXU1dXkwNm1qcg%3D%3D I now introduce you to…Michelle Booker. This part of her statement particularly impresses me: What I see in District 2 now breaks my heart. The drugs, the violence, the sex trafficking, families losing […]
General Assembly Post-Game Wrap-Up/Pre-Game Show: Thursday, May 21, 2026
Here is yesterday’s Session Activity Report. Looks like all the bills on yesterday’s Senate Agenda passed without controversy. I haven’t checked today’s agendas yet. However, the General Assembly will be out of session for the next two weeks for budget mark-up. OK, with that out of the way, let’s see what goodies await us today. […]
General Assembly Post-Game Wrap-Up/Pre-Game Show: Wednesday, May 20, 2026
The big news, of course, is that the watered-down version of the so-called health care cost containment bill unanimously passed the Senate. While it does place some requirements on insurers (good), the substitute bill that passed largely added language written by, and for, ChristianaCare. We covered this in today’s Open Thread, where I linked to […]

The Big News? The substitute bill supposedly designed to control hospital healthcare costs will finally make it to the floor today. Having its priorities straight, the Senate will first rubber-stamp three of the annual corporate bills that contain language far exceeding any legislator’s ability to understand what’s in them. Here is today’s Senate Agenda. OK, […]
Delaware Political Weekly: Week Ending May 14, 2026
Well–not exactly. This article has been embargoed until after 9 am because of Breaking News. I won’t keep you waiting long–in fact, not at all. 1. FOUR Delaware Progressive candidates secure major national endorsements: Kira Alejandro has been endorsed by Run for Something (RFS), a national organization that recruits and supports the next generation of […]

One notable bill passed the Senate yesterday. SB 22 (Townsend), which aims to increase affordable access to mental health care services in Delaware, unanimously passed and now heads to the House. Here is yesterday’s Session Activity Report. Happy to see that SS1/SB 23 (Huxtable) cleared committee despite some opposition from local governments. Today’s Senate Agenda […]

Marie Pinkney and Matt Meyer With A Legit Healthcare Proposal. I’ve come to the conclusion that all the posturing against ChristianaCare will amount to nothing because legislators have no intention to allow it to amount to anything.. But this I like: Delaware lawmakers introduced a bill Tuesday that would greatly increase the number of patients […]
Delaware General Assembly Pre-Game Show: Tuesday, May 12, 2026
It was bound to happen. I forgot all about writing this post–until now. So, whatever I spew out will probably be a bit truncated. Looks like Michael Dell is skipping town before the multi-billionaire has to spend less than a pittance for licensing renewal fees. HB 400, which has already passed the House, is on […]
BREAKING: Kevin Hensley Will Not Seek Reelection
According to one of my best spies, he dropped the news at a constituent coffee this morning.
Delaware Political Weekly: Week Ending May 7, 2026
Conventional wisdom holds that the later one’s campaign starts, the less likely it is to be a winning campaign. I mean, it only makes sense, right? A finite number of days to prevail over a presumably better-known incumbent with financial resources already at-hand. This week, however, marked the start of two campaigns which, for reasons […]

Very happy to see that HS2/HB 151 (Gorman) unanimously passed the Senate yesterday, and now heads to the Governor. No private prisons for Delaware! If you look at the bills that Rep. Gorman has introduced this session, you will see a true commitment to civil liberties. Too bad that Speaker Mimi Minor-Brown refuses to place […]
General Assembly Post-Game Wrap-Up/Pre-Game Show: Wednesday, May 6, 2026
Looks like a ‘Just the facts, Ma’am’ edition today. But I’ll try to toss in a little snark to make it, if not interesting, at least readable. Here is yesterday’s Session Activity Report. Other than a stray ‘Not Voting’ by Sen. Lockman, with which I agree, not much else caught my eye–unless you count Rethugs […]
