Sen. Marie Pinkney

I am excited to serve as co-chair of the brand new Delaware Legislative Women’s Caucus!

@detransaqua @Cici_RNinNYC Prisha, I sincerely apologize that you were missed during public comment. It was not intentional. I hope that you well consider offering written comment and I will personally distribute it to all members of the committee.

@Cici_RNinNYC @Marie4Senate Why wasn’t I allowed to testify in a public hearing I was signed up for?

I am excited to serve as co-chair of the brand new Delaware Legislative Women’s Caucus!

Today we passed HCR 119 recognizing April as Minority Health Month. Have you heard of it? It Builds awareness about the disproportionate burden of premature death and illness in people from racial and ethnic minority groups and encourages action!

Thank you to @ACLUDelaware and @SmartJusticeDE for visiting Leg Hall today for advocacy day in support of SB4. Delaware deserves probation reform !

@danshortridge @JoshWhittakerDE @AECNorman @MadinahForDE I do in fact own the sword 😊

If I could just get one legislator whose passion is magic and another whose passion is lockpicking, we'd have the makings of a pretty good D&D adventurer's group in the Delaware General Assembly.

For Pi Day, we were invited to the Legislature Hall and honored by @marie4senate and @mooreforde for the work we do in the community with Lyrical Math! This was such a beautiful surprise and we are so grateful to be appreciated and acknowledged by so many great Delaware Leaders.

As Chair of the Senate Corrections Committee, it is my responsibility to facilitate a dialogue around incarceration and re-entry that includes policy makers as well as justice-involved people and families.

Following the summit, I held a brief press conference to announce the filing of Senate Bill 4, which will transform Delaware's system of probation. I urge you to join me in advocating for this critical legislation so that we can send it to Governor John Carney's desk this year.
