For years, Delaware Senate and House Republicans have warned about the consequences of retiring reliable power plants, failing to invest in new generation, and pursuing energy policies that drive up costs for families and businesses.

Now, the U.S. Department of Energy has declared an electricity reliability emergency across the PJM regional power grid, which includes Delaware. The order authorizes extraordinary measures to help prevent power outages, including allowing certain generating facilities to operate beyond normal restrictions.

This should be a wake-up call for Delaware policymakers.

We've consistently advocated for more dependable electricity generation, including natural gas and nuclear energy, while calling for a reassessment of costly policies like RGGI and Delaware's Renewable Portfolio Standard.

Delaware families deserve electricity that is both affordable and reliable. It's time to take these warnings seriously.

Agriculture is Delaware's number one industry, and today we recognize the hardworking farmers, agricultural workers, and families who help keep it thriving.

From long days in the fields to the countless hours spent caring for livestock and maintaining family farms, their dedication helps feed our communities, strengthen our economy, and preserve Delaware's rich agricultural heritage.

To all those who work in agriculture, and the families who support them, thank you for everything you do for the First State!

The Delaware Senate Republican Caucus was saddened to learn of the passing of The Honorable Patricia M. Blevins.

Senator Blevins served the 7th District in the Delaware Senate for more than 25 years, from1990-2016. During her time in the Senate, she served as Majority Whip, Majority Leader, and President Pro Tempore.

We extend our deepest condolences to her family and all those who knew and worked alongside her.

THROWBACK THURSDAY: In March 2024, Senator Eric Buckson took to the Senate floor after months of work on SCR 117, a bipartisan proposal to create a Classroom Behavior and School Discipline Task Force.

SCR 117 placed a significant emphasis on the voices of those working directly in our schools, including classroom teachers, paraprofessionals, principals and parents. It also allowed Senate and House minority leaders to appoint their own caucus representatives to the task force.

Before SCR 117 could be considered on the Senate floor, Senate Democrat leadership instead moved forward with SCR 119, a separate resolution creating its own Student Behavior and School Climate Task Force. That proposal changed the composition and focus of the task force, including reducing the number of classroom educators and adding additional administrative and government stakeholders.

Watch Senator Buckson’s floor remarks from that day as he explains how the situation unfolded and why he believed the educators who helped shape SCR 117 deserved to have their work heard.

All of Senator Buckson's remarks can be viewed on our YouTube channel. Link in the comments.

Delaware’s latest education numbers should concern every parent, educator, and policymaker.

Only 42% of Delaware students are proficient in English language arts, while less than 32% are proficient in math. These challenges did not appear overnight. Delaware’s standing on national education measures has declined over the years, COVID set students back even further, and too many have yet to fully recover.

In our latest Substack, we take a closer look at how we got here and, more importantly, where we believe Delaware should go next, including giving teachers greater freedom in the classroom and families more choices in their children’s education.

Delaware’s students deserve better than accepting these results as the new normal.

The strongest winds are expected near the coast, but much of Delaware could see gusts of 30–45 mph through Saturday night. With saturated ground, some tree damage and isolated power outages are possible. Moderate tidal flooding is also expected in portions of Kent and Sussex counties, with multiple rounds of flooding possible through the weekend.

Please use caution, avoid flooded roadways, secure loose outdoor items and stay up to date on weather and emergency alerts. Take precautions now and stay safe this weekend.
