Finance Reports
Campaign committee registered; no periodic FEC report on file yet
Checked 2026-09-24: principal campaign committee C00922047 (candidate ID H4DE01092) has no periodic Form 3 report (quarterly or pre-/post-election) covering 2025–26 in the FEC electronic-filing list or the FEC image index, so no receipts, spending or cash on hand have been reported yet. A committee registered after June 30 files its first report with the October Quarterly (due Oct 15, 2026).

In Their Words
What they have said, on the record
“I am a man of color. I am an African American, and I felt like he's setting us back. I see a lot of the people who back him. They are really kind of making it very clear that they are in line with him and I disagreed with that. So for that reason, I went today to give Delawareans a choice.”
