Government overreach and wasteful spending are squeezing hardworking Delawareans through high taxes, failing schools, and rising bills. Chris Rowe — Navy veteran, neighbor, and candidate for the State Senate — is running to hold Dover accountable.
Homeowners were handed 20%+ property tax hikes without a vote. Schools burn $21,000 per student and rank 45th. Energy mandates keep inflating the bills of families who never asked for them. That ends here.
Make Delaware affordable again — starting with the bills on your kitchen table.
Where's the $350M, Dover?
17–20%+ property tax hikes landed on New Castle homeowners without a single voter ever casting a ballot on them. We'll impose hard caps, require voter approval for future increases, and shield seniors and fixed-income families from reassessment shocks.
$21K+ per student. Ranked 45th.
Delaware spends among the highest per-pupil figures in the nation and lands near the bottom in outcomes. Adopting Ron Russo's bold plan, we'll shift authority to principals, expand school choice, slash bureaucracy, and demand honest accountability.
End the mandates inflating your bill.
Delaware imports nearly all of its power while RGGI and all-renewables-at-all-costs mandates squeeze family budgets against surging demand. We'll pause extreme mandates, expand reliable in-state generation, and put affordability and reliability first.
The Candidate
Chris Rowe has spent his life serving — first in the United States Navy, and now fighting for the families of Delaware Senate District 7. He knows what it means to answer the call, to stand up when it's hard, and to put mission before self.
Today, Delaware families are squeezed from every direction: taxes they never voted for, schools that swallow record funding and deliver record failure, and utility bills inflated by mandates written far from their kitchen tables.
Chris is running because Dover has forgotten who it works for. He answered the call for his country in the Navy — now he wants to fight for the families of Delaware. It's time to bring accountability, common sense, and Delaware values back to the State Senate.
