Delaware's Congresswoman. Congresswoman Sarah McBride and her congressional staff use this page to share news & services relevant to Delaware. This is her official government Bluesky page.

I met with Delaware families and advocates from Breakthrough T1D to hear about their experiences living with Type 1 diabetes and discuss the importance of continued federal investment in research, treatment, and early detection.

1/ The Americans with Disabilities Act as signed into law 36 years ago today — but there is still much work to be done to ensure that our neighbors living with disabilities are able to fully participate in their communities.

Donald Trump promised at least 53 times that he would end the war in Ukraine on “day one.” 538 days later, even his own administration admits he hasn’t delivered. Maybe he shouldn’t have made such grandiose promises.

It was wonderful to attend the St. Paul's Catholic Church Gala and celebrate an institution that has long been a pillar of Wilmington's Latino community. Thank you to everyone who made the evening possible and to the St. Paul's community for all you do to serve Delaware.

1/ Delawareans! Due to lingering smoke from Canadian wildfires, local officials have issued a Code Red air quality alert for all of Delaware. While folks with heart or lung conditions are at increased risk, everyone should be cautious in these conditions.

1/ Recently, I joined Limen Recovery + Wellness for their Life & Recovery Pride Month Celebration and had the opportunity to hear from members of the community about their journeys of recovery, resilience, and hope.

1/ The murder of yet another person at the hands of ICE agents is one more example of what happens when this administration is able to operate with zero oversight or accountability. I am thinking of the Biddeford community as they navigate this cruel and avoidable crime.

Recently I had the chance to tour the Delaware Skills Center & celebrate a $1M+ federal investment to purchase and renovate a new facility! This Center has been training the next gen of health care & construction professionals and this investment will deepen their impact in Delaware.

Building affordable housing starts with ensuring reliable infrastructure. That is why I am proud to have secured $250,000 for this project in Laurel — which will  expand and strengthen the sewer capacity to support a new housing structure.

1/ Some days in this job are particularly awe-inspiring — like today, when I joined my colleagues at Independence Hall in Philadelphia to celebrate that on this day 250 years ago our predecessors in the Continental Congress voted that our colonies were free and independent states.

1/ Transgender Americans want the same things as every other American: the freedom to build a good life, earn a livable wage, and fully participate in their communities — including, for many, the camaraderie, discipline, and sense of belonging that come from sports.

Donald Trump's extremist Supreme Court has cleared the way for his administration to strip legal protections from hundreds of thousands of people who registered, were vetted, trusted and followed the legal process, and, until now, lived and worked legally in this country.

Graphic that reads:

Haitian and Syrian TPS holders — many of whom fled violence, instability, and humanitarian crises — came to the United States seeking safety and the opportunity to build a better life. This decision allows the Department of Homeland Security to revoke their legal status and allow for the deportations of workers, caregivers, parents, small business owners, and seniors who have long been part of our communities.

Here in Delaware, we've seen firsthand the impact of the Haitian community and their contributions to our health care system, our economy, and one of our state's largest industries — agriculture. They are our neighbors. They followed the rules, passed background checks, and built their lives here. They should not pay the price for an agenda rooted in cruelty and fear.

Now it's on Congress to provide lasting protections for Haitian and Syrian TPS holders and build an immigration system that reflects our values — one rooted in dignity, safety, and decency."
