Senator Sarah McBride’s statement on final passage of The Healthy Delaware Families Act

April 14, 2022

Senator Sarah McBride released the following statement today after the Senate’s final passage of The Health Delaware Families Act:

“This is a historic day for Delaware and a watershed moment for working families throughout the First State. Thousands of families throughout our state are now one signature away from having the security and peace of mind that comes from knowing they will be able to keep food on the table and a roof over their heads even as they face some of the most common challenges that we all face as human beings. This major step forward would not have been possible without the hard work and persistence of advocates, business leaders willing to come to the table, statewide leaders and a bi-partisan coalition of legislators, and the overwhelming support of Delawareans.”
