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 !

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.
