Thank you for encouraging me to run for the Senate, and for being a dear friend. I look forward to continuing to work with you over the next year and a half to keep delivering for Delawareans.

For years, I've called Tom Carper my friend, my trusted colleague, and my elected representative. I've witnessed his tireless dedication to the people of Delaware – and I'll always be grateful for his leadership in the Senate. Congrats on your retirement, Senator.

No one should live in an environment that puts them at risk of lead poisoning. I'm glad to join @HUDgov today to announce funding that will help to reduce dangerous materials like lead-based paint in our communities, while creating 50 jobs to tackle these health hazards head on.

Congratulations to Maiss Hussein, Delaware’s back-to-back @PoetryOutLoud state champion! This week, I met with Maiss on the steps of the Senate & heard about her passion for poetry. This bright young woman is yet another example of the rich talent coming out of the First State!

Today I met the 2024 Submarine Junior Officers of the Year. As a @USNavy veteran myself, it was great to speak with these folks recognized for their seamanship — and a special honor to speak with Lt. Tullie St. John, who is currently serving on the USS Delaware!

Great news, Delaware! Thanks to the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law, @EPA is providing over $28 million to replace and identify toxic lead pipes up and down our state. This funding will help ensure Delawareans have safe, clean water in their homes, businesses, and more. 🙌

Recent cyber attacks have highlighted the need for health care companies to have systems in place to safeguard medical data. At today’s @SenateFinance hearing, I heard from UnitedHealth Group CEO Andrew Witty on how Congress can help deter future threats.

It’s #NationalSmallBusinessWeek ! I always enjoy hearing from small business owners up & down Delaware on how we can best serve them. With 17 million new businesses created since @POTUS took office, we’re building an environment where entrepreneurs can thrive across the country.

Today is #NationalSupplyChainDay ! No one should have to worry about being able to access critical treatments or medications. That’s why I introduced the Medical Supply Chain Resiliency Act – to strengthen our supply chains and address the backlog of life-saving medical products.
