If you live in the West Dover area and you see one of these signs this week on a road that you drive on, that's letting you know that there will be thousands of people riding bicycles on Saturday on that road. Please consider if you can avoid that road on Saturday morning (October 10). If that's not possible for you, however, please at least be mentally prepared to drive slowly and extra carefully. Expect delays...and give yourself just a little bit of extra time to get wherever you're going.

On October 21, I’ll be co-hosting an Expungement Fair at the Dover Hope Zone alongside my colleague Senator Darius Brown to support our justice-involved neighbors who are working for a better life for themselves and their families. This event will provide access to free legal assistance and resources for individuals working to clear their record and succeed in the next chapter of their lives.

Delaware State University is a pillar of our community, and its success today owes much to the contributions of former DSU President Dr. Harry Williams and former First Lady Dr. Robin Williams. Their remarkable service was fittingly honored this week with the renaming of DSU’s Early College High School as The Williams Early College School. The school gives countless young people a head start on their college careers by providing invaluable educational opportunities, ensuring that Dr. Harry and Dr. Robin Williams’ legacy will continue for generations to come.

As we continue our work to improve care for Delaware’s aging and most vulnerable residents, I was honored to visit the Delaware Hospital for the Chronically Ill for the signing of my legislation, SB 281, into law. For generations, this facility has provided essential care to our elderly neighbors and those living with acute disabilities. The new, state-of-the-art facility being built on the very same campus will expand and improve that mission. It was especially meaningful to see this legislation signed into law, because it renames the facility after my aunt, Eleanor Cain, whose mission in life was to make healthcare more accessible for those who can least afford it.
