“I’ve had the privilege of representing the 23rd District in the House of Representatives for the past 12 years and it has been a tremendous honor serving the residents of our district and our state.
“However, after careful consideration and consultation with my family, I have decided that it would be best to step away from elected office. I will not be running for re-election in 2024.
“Since I was first elected, I have always been focused on results. In addition to addressing the everyday issues affecting my constituents, I’m proud of the work we’ve done to make Delaware a leader in gun safety, protect reproductive health, secure benefits for working families, enhance the effectiveness and responsiveness of Delaware’s government, and advance medical aid in dying.
“Most recently, I had the privilege of serving on the Retiree Healthcare Benefits Advisory Subcommittee, where we have worked tirelessly to ensure that retirees have access to quality healthcare for years to come.
“Yet, everything we do in Dover we do with others. By definition, what any one legislator does here is a rounding error compared to what we accomplish together. I offer my gratitude and best wishes to all of my colleagues.
“This was not an easy decision, but it is the right one for myself and my family. I would like to extend the sincerest thanks to my family, friends, colleagues, and the residents of the 23rd District for their support.”
