The people of Smyrna – AND DELAWARE – have no more to give! They’re tapped out!
That’s the takeaway from Smyrna’s election.
This week’s town council election in Smyrna wasn’t just a local shake-up—it was a loud, clear message: folks are fed up.
In the at-large council race, the incumbent was ousted by a challenger, signaling a desire for change. Adding to the upheaval, a councilman resigned following a controversial decision, further highlighting the community’s dissatisfaction.
This election wasn’t just about seats; it was about voices demanding to be heard. The residents of Smyrna are signaling that they want transparency, accountability, and a government that truly represents their interests.
As I run for State Senate, I hear these concerns loud and clear. It’s time for leadership that listens, acts, and puts the community first. Let’s work together to bring about the change Smyrna—and Delaware—deserve.

Delaware House Passes End-of-Life Bill, Moves to Senate for Final Approval
Delaware’s House of Representatives narrowly passed House Bill 140, which would allow mentally capable, terminally ill adults to choose medical aid in dying. The bill passed 21-17 and includes safeguards, such as requiring approval from two physicians. Supporters argue it gives patients control over their final moments, while opponents believe the protections are insufficient and oppose it on moral grounds. The bill now moves to the Senate, and Governor Matt Meyer has stated he will sign it if it reaches his desk.

Delaware aims to remain top US corporate legal home; Texas marshals a challenge
A stopped clock is right twice a day, and State Senator Bryan Townsend has finally gotten something right with Senate Bill 21. This legislation moves to protect Delaware’s status as the nation’s corporate capital by providing legal clarity and shielding companies from frivolous lawsuits. More than 20% of Delaware’s state budget comes from corporate fees—if companies leave, the financial fallout would be devastating for every citizen. And, of course, if we didn’t live in a One-Party State ruled by Liberal Democrats who appoint activist judges, none of this would be necessary.
Delaware aims to remain top US corporate legal home; Texas marshals a challenge
A year after Elon Musk urged U.S. companies to abandon Delaware as their legal home and follow Tesla to Texas, legislators in the two states on Wednesday considered bills in an unusual battle over corporate law that critics say benefits powerful shareholders.
The Trump Administration is being sued again by Delaware AG Kathy Jennings
Kathy Jennings and her cohorts have no standing in this case, because the State of Delaware itself—not individual federal employees who have been terminated ostensibly in violation of the WARN Act (Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification Act)—is bringing the lawsuit. State Attorney Generals may to sue on behalf of their citizens to protect the public interest – but no individual citizens claiming wrongful termination are named as plaintiffs in this case. And the proposition that the State of Delaware itself is unlawfully harmed by having to meet it’s contractual financial obligations in the way of unemployment insurance, public assistance, and administrative processing is ludicrous.

The Looming Spectre of DExit
Delaware, long a top choice for corporate incorporation, is seeing companies leave in a trend called “Dexit.” Businesses are frustrated with recent court rulings, including the rejection of Elon Musk’s Tesla pay package. Nevada and Texas are attracting firms with more business-friendly laws. Delaware, which relies on incorporation fees for revenue, is trying to address concerns, but moving states isn’t always easy. If more major companies leave, Delaware may have to make big changes to stay competitive.

Delaware’s Costly Bloom Energy Deal: Broken Promises, High Costs, and Hidden Pollution
Bloom Energy was given a highly favorable deal by Delaware’s government, allowing it to rent space for almost nothing, receive millions in grants, and charge Delmarva Power customers extra to support its fuel cell technology. In return, the company was supposed to create jobs and invest in the area, but it has failed to meet many of its promises. Despite being classified as “green energy,” Bloom’s fuel cells run on natural gas, produce significant carbon emissions, and generate hazardous waste. The state and company have downplayed these issues, and taxpayers have spent over $580 million on this project.
