In her words

“

Delaware is a state of neighbors, a place where we look out for one another and where everyone deserves the freedom to live authentically and thrive. I'm proud that LGBTQ+ Delawareans will continue to have access to spaces that build community and help them feel seen, supported, and celebrated.
