Three of its reforms were recommended in 2013 Veasey Report - Legislature urged to also ban corporate contributions as ‘Unfinished Business’

With just over two weeks remaining in Delaware’s 2022 legislative session, bills to allow voters to cast ballots by mail; enable voters to correct and update their voter registrations, or register for the first time; and create a statewide Inspector General’s office have not yet been passed.

Common Cause Delaware strongly supports the creation of an Inspector General’s office in the First State.  Right now there is bipartisan legislative support for creating an IG that is independent, non-partisan, and appointed on the basis of professional qualifications, rather than simply elected.

The event, hosted by local grassroots organizations, was one of 300+ nationwide. The “Remembrance and Vigil” also called for action to strengthen and protect our country’s democracy.

If these charges are true, they are a particularly egregious violation of the public trust. Delaware’s Auditor is supposed to prevent and detect these sorts of activities, to protect our taxpayer dollars from misuse. Our state officials are supposed to act in the public’s interest, not their own.

Delaware’s Senate Majority Leadership and 17 other state legislators have sent a letter to US Senators Carper and Coons, thanking them for their support of the For the People Act and urging them “to do whatever it takes to pass it and get it to President Biden’s desk, even if it means reforming the filibuster.”
