- Hunting and fishing rights

- Justice for survivors of child sexual abuse

As well as bills that raise concerns about:

With agendas expected to grow longer as June progresses, now is the time to pay attention.

Dr. Carson's Career Recognition

Friday afternoon, Senator Dave Wilson joined legislators, staff, and community leaders in celebrating Dr. Kevin Carson and his remarkable career at Sussex Tech.

Under his leadership, Sussex Tech has continued to grow its reputation for providing students with outstanding career and technical education opportunities while preparing the next generation of Delaware's workforce.

While Dr. Carson is retiring as superintendent on August 30, he will continue serving Sussex Tech as project manager for the construction of the new campus which, to this point, is the largest public school construction project in Delaware history.

Congratulations, Dr. Carson, on your well-deserved retirement, and thank you for your many years of service to Sussex County students and families.

Governor Meyer Declares Statewide Drought Watch

Governor Matt Meyer has issued a statewide drought watch due to precipitation levels experiencing a steep and steady decline throughout the state for the second time in three years, particularly in Kent and Sussex Counties. The Governor declared a drought watch after receiving guidance from the Delaware Water Supply Coordinating Council (WSCC).

The drought watch is in effect until further notice. During this time, Delawareans are asked to voluntarily reduce outdoor uses of water and practice wise water use in their homes in order to preserve the state’s water resources for more necessary uses.
