Animal Welfare

As a life-long animal lover, I'm dedicated to advancing animal welfare as a state representative. I believe that it is our shared responsibility to address challenges like neglect, abandonment, and cruelty towards our animal companions. Towards this end, I would support legislation to do the following:

  • Alleviate overcrowding at our animal shelters and rescues by allocating appropriate levels of funding

  • Require agencies and departments to promptly report instances of suspected animal cruelty

  • Systemically review the working conditions of the farmers and agricultural workers, as well as the treatment of the animals they work with

  • Strengthen regulations on Delaware’s concentrated animal feeding operations to implement best practices with regard to animal welfare and waste management

  • Invest in alternative protein research and development
