Many churches and pastors feel called by Scripture to equip the saints to represent Christ in all areas of our society, including the voting booth. Pastors should thus be supported in their goal of helping their members be good stewards in their civic duties. This is especially important in light of the fact that only one out of every four Christians in America votes.
**Individually, a pastor can do whatever he feels led to do: endorse, support a member’s campaign, etc. There are no limitations. The few limitations above that exist are only for the Church entity and only if the Church is a non-profit corporation.

(1) SANCTITY OF LIFE
Abortion is the act of violently ending the life of another human being, while in the womb. Lawmakers should work to promote the value of and protect human life from conception (SB 317, 2024; ) to natural death, versus further expansions of abortion access (HB 110, 2024; SB 301, 2024; SB 232, 2024; HB 400, 2022, HB 31, 2023).
(2) PARENTAL RIGHTS
The Delaware Constitution should be amended to protect the right of parents in the custody, control, and care of their children from government interference, which requires the government to prove that it has a strong, compelling reason to restrict that right, such as in cases of abuse and neglect. (HB 319, 2022)
(3) KEEP CRT/DEI OUT OF SCHOOLS
Public schools should not seek to enforce DEI (Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion) mandates, which promote discrimination by dividing individuals into classes of “oppressed” and “oppressor”, and define inclusion as requiring integrated comprehensive sex education curricula that includes LGBTQIA+ role play, sexual practices, and identities (HB 199, 2021, SB 97, 2024).
(4) PROTECT MINORS FROM PORN
Delaware law should protect minors from the harms of pornographic material by requiring websites available in Delaware to perform age verification procedures that are standardized from usage in other industries. (HB 265, 2024).
(5) PROTECT GIRLS’ SPORTS
Delaware law should protect Title IX fairness and the integrity of women’s sports. (SB 191, 2024)
(6) PROTECTION OF LIFE AT ALL STAGES
Individuals and faith-based entities should have the right of conscience to freely live out their sincerely held convictions regarding human sexuality and conception, without fear of government infringement or retaliation. (HB 199, 2021; HB 275, 2024; HB 74, 2023)
(7) PROTECT MINORS FROM GENDER MUTILATION
Medical personnel should not be protected from liability for practicing experimental medical drugs and procedures – which often produce irreversible damage – on vulnerable minors in Delaware. (HB 346, 2024).
(8) STOP ASSISTED SUICIDE
Assisted Suicide, the act of prescribing “death pills” so that individuals given a terminal diagnosis to end their life, should not be legalized in Delaware as an ‘end of life’ option. (HB 140, 2024)
(9) LIMITED GOVERNMENT
A State of Emergency declaration extended beyond 30 days should depend on the consent of the people of Delaware through the General Assembly. (HB 49, 2021; HB 247, 2021)
(10) PROTECT THE 2ND AMENDMENT
The right of Delawareans to keep and bear arms, as protected by the US and DE Constitutions, should not be infringed. Better enforcement of current laws to prevent crime versus more regulations is needed to protect public safety. (HB 450, 2022; SB 8, 2021)
(11) PROTECT FAIR ELECTIONS
To preserve the integrity of Delaware elections, the legislature should strive to eliminate opportunities for fraud in the election process. (HB 344, 2024)
