And she’s done it by bringing people together – from healthcare to paid leave, she’s brought together Republicans and liberal Democrats, small businesses and labor, advocates and experts.
Championing paid medical and family leave.
Sarah led the fight to successfully pass the Healthy Delaware Families Act which will guarantee Delawareans paid leave to welcome a new child, recover from an illness, or care for a family member.
Keeping our families safe from gun violence.

Making health care more affordable and available.
As Chair of the Health Committee, Sarah has passed legislation expanding access to care, enhancing home health services, and providing mental health care to at-risk Delawareans.
Improving our public schools and supporting our youth.
