Folks in Delaware were hit hard by the storm this September. And many of our businesses and communities are still reeling from the damages. A Presidential Disaster Declaration will provide the necessary funding to repair our public infrastructure and property. I strongly support Governor Markell’s efforts to secure this declaration for our state. I will continue to work with him and the rest of our delegation to ensure Delaware receives the support we need to rebuild.

A big congrats to Delaware's Teacher of the Year Wendy Turner! It doesn't take much to see how passionate she is about her job! She’s a tremendous role model, and a reminder of the dedication that so many Delaware educators bring to school every day to help our children learn.

L'Shanah Tovah -- wishing everyone a happy Rosh Hashana!

Just finished questioning Wells Fargo CEO John Stumpf on his company's reprehensible actions. Mr. Stumpf said that over 4,000 accounts of Delawareans may have been affected. I'm outraged by this abuse of customer trust and will continue to ensure we're holding Wells Fargo accountable.

Took advantage of today's amazing weather and snagged some photos with our great interns. The DC office couldn't run without them! #netde

I'm devastated to hear of the tragic fire that took two Wilmington FD lives this morning. I'm praying for the family and loved ones of these brave firefighters and the other men and women injured during this rescue. My thoughts are also with the family who lost their home this morning. I know our community will come together to help those grieving during this difficult time.

How I feel about the Delaware River Basin Conservation Act passing the Senate yesterday! #fridayfeeling #flashbackfriday #netde #allaboutthatbasin

Twenty-two years ago today, the Violence Against Women Act was signed into law. Our own Vice President Biden led the charge on this monumental legislation which has since helped millions of women across our country. I was proud to cosponsor the re-authorization of this bill in 2013, extending VAWA protections further. We must continue working to ensure that every woman is guaranteed their inherent right to safety and security.

15 years ago our country was changed forever. We will never forget this day in our history, nor will we forget the heroism, bravery, and patriotism shown by so many individuals throughout the attack and its aftermath. My thoughts are with all of those who lost a loved one on this day.

My heart aches at the passing of my friend and renowned Delawarean, Frank Masley. Thoughts and prayers to his wife, Donna, and their family and loved ones. http://delonline.us/2cf3Joj

Proud to stand with Vice President Biden and Senator Tom Carper this afternoon to demand action on Zika, No Fly No Buy, and the Supreme Court nomination. #doyourjob #netde

Happy Labor Day! Don't forget to take a moment today to thank the hardworking men and women that keep our country running. This Labor Day, I'd also like to send a special thanks to those at the Delaware Department of Transportation (DelDOT) and Delaware Emergency Management Agency who worked tirelessly throughout the weekend to ensure the safety of our communities.

Earlier today Governor Markell issued a limited State of Emergency for Sussex County, and we're still under a Tropical Storm Warning from the National Hurricane Center. Stay safe out there everyone, and remember to keep informed through Delaware Department of Transportation (DelDOT) and the Delaware Emergency Management Agency

ALL of the counties in Delaware are now under a Tropical Storm Warning. Please be safe out there folks! Check out the Delaware Department of Transportation (DelDOT) Information Center below for more updates and tips.

As many of you know, the National Hurricane Center has issued a Tropical Storm Watch for Delaware's coast. Dangerous storm surge, flooding, and wind gusts are all very possible. I urge folks on the coast to be prepared and vigilant. For tips and updates check out the Delaware Emergency Management Agency Facebook page and website.
