I recently joined Rep. Claire Snyder-Hall and Rep. Alonna Berry at the Lewes Chamber of Commerce’s legislative breakfast to discuss the policy issues impacting our communities and local economy. I was proud to highlight my ongoing work to spur affordable housing development by giving local governments the tools they need to plan for smart growth.

We also discussed the potential impacts of decoupling our state tax code from the federal system and the importance of considering changes through the lens of working families and small businesses. I continue to hear concerns from local employers about the effects of the Trump Administration’s widespread tariffs, which have raised costs and created widespread uncertainty.

These discussions are valuable to our progress, and I will continue to prioritize affordability while working to tackle the issues most pertinent to our communities.
