JennyGems

Yesterday, Governor Carney visited multiple women-owned businesses throughout Delaware in recognition of Women’s History Month. 


It was a pleasure to meet Jenny McMillan who is the owner of JennyGems, which is a small business that designs and manufactures rustic decor.

First EV MandateTown Hall Meeting

I joined legislative colleagues and over 300 concerned Delawareans at last night's electric vehicle mandate town hall event in Millsboro. We heard from farmers, firefighters, business owners, retirees, Democrats, Republicans, and more who vehemently oppose DNREC's proposed regulation to ban the sale of new gasoline and diesel-powered vehicles.


There are three additional scheduled events you can attend to have your questions answered and make your voices heard. Each town hall begins at 6:30 p.m. An additional meeting in Sussex at a larger venue may be planned. RSVPs are encouraged and can be done so at noevmandate.com.



- March 28th: 160 Peoples Plaza, Newark/Glasgow

- March 29th: Camden-Wyoming Firehall, Kent County

- March 30th: Chambers Memorial Hall/Millcreek Firehall, Newark/South Wilmington

Thank you!

We had a packed house last Saturday at Cafe on the Circle for my constituent coffee. Thank you to everyone who attended and for the great conversations!

The Second Floor Podcast

I joined The Second Floor to discuss the latest DEFAC report and provide an update following the first EV mandate town hall meeting.
