Thank you to @RepNancyMace for sharing this moment from Delaware’s congressional debate. On September 17, Republican U.S. House nominee Joe Arminio was removed from a candidate forum after referring to Rep. Sarah McBride as male. The moderator cited the event’s rules of decorum and asked him to leave. Delawareans deserve a real debate, not a debate that ends the moment a Republican nominee refuses to recite the other side’s talking points. We stand with the First Amendment. Candidates should be able to speak, voters should be able to hear them, and no forum should substitute enforced language for open political argument.

MEET THE CANDIDATES | HOUSE DISTRICT 8 REPUBLICAN PRIMARY EARLY VOTING IS UNDERWAY Republican voters in House District 8 can vote early in Delaware’s 2026 Primary Election. Early voting dates, times, and locations: elections.delaware.gov/elect… Two Republicans are seeking the nomination for House District 8: Watara Heath and Gary Taylor. WATARA HEATH “I am running because I believe Delaware can be safer, stronger, and more accountable while still treating people with dignity and compassion. My career working alongside families, healthcare professionals, law enforcement, first responders, and community organizations has shown me that crime, addiction, mental health, and homelessness are often interconnected and require practical, balanced solutions. We must protect our communities by enforcing laws and holding individuals accountable for criminal behavior, while also addressing the underlying challenges through treatment, education, opportunity, and personal responsibility. Government should provide a hand up, not a permanent handout, and taxpayer dollars must be spent responsibly, with transparency about where funds are allocated and clear evidence that programs are achieving results. I want to bring practical experience, objective evidence, fiscal responsibility, and common-sense leadership to Legislative Hall to help build safer communities and a stronger Delaware.” Learn more: wataraheath.com Facebook: facebook.com/watara.heath GARY TAYLOR “Campaigning for elected office was not on my bingo card for 2026. The closest I've come to politics is serving as HOA president for the last 15 years. I could no longer sit on the sidelines while decisions made in Dover continued to negatively impact our families, small businesses, and public safety here in Middletown. My commitment is simple: understand the issues, explain them clearly, and vote in the best interest of our community—not based on party bosses.” Learn more: Taylor4DE.com Facebook: facebook.com/p/Gary-Taylor-f… Make your voice heard in the House District 8 Republican Primary.

🚨The Democrat Agenda: Destroy Democracy and Unleash Lawlessness. -Abolish the Senate -Replace the Presidency and Supreme Court -Eradicate prisons, borders, and law enforcement They’re telling you exactly who they are:

MEET THE CANDIDATES | SHANE CAVANAUGH Shane Cavanaugh is running to represent State Senate District 8 and bring common-sense leadership and balance back to Dover. “I’m running for State Senate because I believe government should focus less on political division and more on practical solutions. Our families deserve strong schools, affordable energy, safe neighborhoods, thriving local businesses, and opportunities to succeed. I’ll work hard to bring common-sense leadership and balance to Dover.” Learn more about Shane: shane4senate.com Follow Shane on Facebook: facebook.com/share/19Ug6QJkt… Stay tuned as we continue introducing the Republican candidates working to build a stronger future for Delaware.

Democratic Socialists of America candidates are now running in Delaware. Chris Beardsley is challenging Chris Coons in the U.S. Senate primary. Shané Darby is running for State House District 1. Shay Frisby is running for State Senate District 5. Here are 5 of their official platform positions: “Establish public ownership of the largest corporations and essential industries” “End ICE detention and deportations” and “grant amnesty for all immigrants regardless of status” “Steps towards fully abolishing the police and prison system” “Enact aggressive wealth taxes on the richest individuals and corporations” Abolish the U.S. Senate and “replace the president and Supreme Court with an executive and judiciary chosen by and subordinate to Congress” Public ownership of corporations and massive new taxes would destroy Delaware’s corporate franchise, which brings in over $2 billion every year and makes up nearly a third of our state budget. These policies would gut the revenue that funds schools, public safety, and keeps Delaware free of a sales tax. Share this if you want to stop the radical left before it takes root in Delaware.

Your time, energy, and enthusiasm make everything we do possible! Come visit us at the Delaware State Fair and join the movement to restore balance and build a stronger future for the First State!

Republicans have been warning for years that unchecked Democrat policies were damaging Delaware’s corporate haven status. The New York Times recently confirmed what we said all along. Companies are leaving because of excessive lawsuits, unpredictable rulings, and higher costs created under one-party Democrat rule. Elon Musk led the way by moving Tesla and SpaceX to Texas. Now Andreessen Horowitz, Coinbase, Dropbox, and Dell are following. Delaware’s corporate franchise generates critical revenue and supports good jobs. If DExit continues, we lose that advantage. Republicans were right. One-party rule put our economy at risk. Share this if you want to protect Delaware’s business-friendly status.

Across the State, Republican candidates are stepping up to give Delaware voters a choice and fight to bring balance back to our state. From statewide contests to races for the General Assembly, our candidates share one mission: protecting Delaware from disastrous one-party rule and building a stronger future for every Delawarean. In the coming weeks, we will be launching a social media campaign introducing the Republican candidates running across Delaware, district by district. You'll have the chance to learn more about who they are, why they're running, and their vision for the communities they hope to represent. Candidate information is already available for many of our candidates on our newly launched website, with additional profiles and information being added as the election season moves forward. Stay tuned. The candidates are ready. The campaign is beginning. And together, we're fighting to restore balance to Delaware. Visit our website here: degop.gop

Making Delaware so affordable that property taxes rose, thanks to your own failures in New Castle County. This math teacher isn't very good at math...

The radical left is coming for Delaware. Democratic Socialists of America candidates are flooding Democratic primaries across the state. These are not mainstream Democrats. They are openly pushing socialist policies that would wreck the very system that makes Delaware work. Working families would feel it first. Higher taxes. More government control. Fewer jobs. Rising costs on everything from housing to energy. Socialist policies have destroyed opportunity wherever they have been tried. But the real target is Delaware’s corporate status. Our state’s business-friendly laws and Court of Chancery are why so many companies incorporate here. That status drives billions in revenue and supports thousands of jobs. Socialist policies would replace that with higher taxes, heavy regulation, and hostility to business. Companies would leave. Revenue would collapse. Delaware families would pay the price. This is what one-party Democrat rule has allowed to grow. Radical left candidates are no longer on the fringe. They are running to take over the Democratic Party and then the state. Delaware cannot afford this experiment. Share this if you want to stop the radical left before it destroys what makes our state work.

I wonder why @SenLBR can't answer a simple question...
