I am still excited about HB 145 being signed into law. You can learn more here about reverse warrants and why there is still more that needs to be done to reign in mass surveillance: https://thehill.com/opinion/criminal-justice/5998614-supreme-court-privacy-ruling/

Today we took an important first step toward protecting Americans' private online search information from government overreach as HB 145 was officially signed into law.

As more of our everyday lives move online, our search history can reveal incredibly personal information, from our health and relationships to the questions we may not feel comfortable asking anyone else. People shouldn’t have to worry that simply searching for information could put them under a government surveillance dragnet.

This new law provides important protections against reverse keyword warrants, which allow law enforcement to obtain information about people who searched for specific terms or topics, even when those individuals aren’t suspected of a crime.

There’s still more work to do to protect Americans from mass surveillance and government overreach, but with this legislation we are heading in the right direction.

Getting this bill to the finish line took years of hard work and I am truly grateful for everyone who pitched in on the effort - including the ACLU of Delaware and the Caesar Rodney Institute.

I stand in solidarity with the family of Kadir Skinner, who was brutally murdered by Wilmington Police last month. My heart is broken for the Skinner and Dollard families, who have lost a child in one of the worst ways possible and I am angry that we have lost another community member to the same senseless state violence many of us have protested over the years.

As elected officials, we owe more to the family and to our state. Since the police murdered George Floyd, Lymond Moses, Jeremy McDole, and others, the Delaware General Assembly has promised police accountability and transparency. But the changes we’ve voted on have not been enough. Police brutality continues to plague our community.

We have not done enough as a legislative body to fix the issue of police brutality in Delaware.

I’m committing to supporting the transformation our state needs to:
1. Make all police disciplinary records available to the public
2. Ensure independent, civilian oversight of police by ensuring that police accountability boards have investigatory and subpoena powers
3. Establish a clear process for public access to video footage through the Freedom of Information Act
4. Ensure police have a duty to intervene to prevent another officer from using unlawful force
5. Shift our public safety approach by establishing Community Response Teams that include trained mental health and social workers, mediators, and outreach workers, with the goal of reducing police interactions that could result in injury or death.

Justice for Kadir Skinner means making sure this doesn’t keep happening.

Today is a Code Red Air Quality Action Day for Particulates in Delaware, meaning the air quality is unhealthy for everyone, but it can be especially dangerous for children, older adults, and anyone with heart or lung conditions.

If you're able, try to limit your time outdoors, especially any strenuous activity, and keep your windows closed to reduce exposure to polluted air.

Legislative session ended on June 30th, and I’d like to take a moment to highlight some legislation I worked on this year.

Thank you to the constituents and community advocates who brought concerns to me that we were able to turn into bills that successfully passed both the House and Senate this year. I am excited to see the Governor sign them into law and to continue representing my community in the State House.

One of the most common questions I get is:

What are you doing to lower my energy bill?

SB 326 is one of the answers. It will require more rate transparency and prohibit Delmarva from passing on unnecessary costs to customers.

House Amendment 1 REMOVES THIS KEY PROTECTION and lets Delmarva indiscriminately pass costs to ratepayers. This isn’t about customers paying for repairs that ensure reliable service. It’s about customers bearing the burden for unnecessary costs that pad Delmarva stockholders’ pockets...

We cannot let another year go by where we let Delmarva slam customers with astronomical bills.

I oppose HA 1 to SB 326 and will do everything in my power to keep it from gutting the protections Delmarva customers deserve.

Every Delaware student deserves to get a quality education in a school that is fully funded, no matter a community’s wealth.

I ran for office to change our funding system and I’m incredibly proud to have voted yesterday on SB 302 and 303, two bills that will ensure our funding formula is fair and equitable and offers Delaware students the future they deserve.

Delaware’s future is bright, and I look forward to the Governor signing these bills into law.

Many people have reached out to me after yesterday’s vote on Senate Bill 100, so I wanted to take an opportunity to respond publicly. Since my first race, I have voted to support LGBTQ+ rights and have been proud to earn the support and trust of many in the LGBTQ+ community. To those who felt hurt and betrayed by my vote last night, I apologize. I support the right for everyone to marry, regardless of sexual orientation, race, or gender. As someone who has been in an in*******al marriage myself, I understand why this right being enshrined in the state constitution is important. It is important to be clear: gay marriage is currently legal in Delaware and has been since 2013.

There are individuals whose marriages are currently not recognized by the state, and it’s tearing families apart. I was approached by a constituent who was trying to reunite his family and was told by US immigration officials to move to a state that recognizes marriages between first cousins. I introduced a bill, HS 1 to HB8 to ensure that marriages like his, which are common in many parts of the world, would be recognized as legal marriages. I believe marriages between consenting adults should be recognized by this state, even if it's culturally or religiously different from one’s own preferences. HS 1 to HB 8 would ensure the state recognized the marriages of first cousins who were already married in other states or countries, allowing a constituent of mine to reunite his family in a time when new Americans are under attack by the Trump administration.

I hope that the state legislature will close loopholes that still allow for discrimination like this to continue in addition to enshrining existing rights into the constitution.

If SB100 is brought back for a vote I will be voting yes.

This week I was proud to sponsor a resolution recognizing Caribbean American Heritage Month and celebrating the tremendous contributions Caribbean Americans have made to Delaware and our nation.

The impact of Caribbean Americans can be seen in nearly every aspect of our society, from public service and business to education, arts, and culture.

Thank you to the members of the Caribbean American Chamber of Commerce of the Northeast for joining us at Legislative Hall today to help celebrate!
