Sen. Marie Pinkney and U.S. Senator Lisa Blunt Rochester have teamed up to create safer spaces for pregnant patients here in Delaware and across the country. For too long, Black women and other women of color have faced discrimination and negligence in health care. That’s why Sen. Pinkney and Speaker Rep. Melissa Minor-Brown introduced Senate Bill 301, which requires hospitals to provide a discharge plan when they send a patient in labor home before giving birth. This bill mirrors the WELLS Act which was introduced by Sen. Blunt Rochester and US Rep Robin Kelly.

SB 301 unanimously passed the Senate yesterday. Meanwhile in Congress, the WELLS Act has been introduced and awaits consideration.

City Delegation Remembers Mayor Mike Purzycki:

“Fewer people have had a more profound and enduring impact on the City of Wilmington than Mike Purzycki.

Long before his tenure as mayor, Mike had a vision for our city that few could see. Under his leadership at the Riverfront Development Corporation, the long-forgotten marshes along the Christina River were transformed into a vibrant hotspot that has since attracted businesses, young professionals, and athletic teams who now call our riverfront “home.”

Everyone who worked with Mike understood that he wouldn’t shy away from the toughest challenges facing the city, but that he would work to build consensus and partner with anyone who was interested in solving problems.

Mayor Purzycki’s legacy is undeniable and he will be sorely missed. Our thoughts are with Bette and his family during this time.”

President Pro Tempore Dave Sokola has taken part in the Legislative Bike to Dover for over three decades, and Wednesday marked the last ride of his legislative career. Sen. Sokola has led the charge by advocating for safer biking facilities along Delaware roadways, increasing the number of biking trails in our state, and for all Delawareans to take up biking both as a hobby and for health.
