Governor Matt Meyer delivered a passionate speech at his inauguration, vowing to improve the public school system in Delaware, which he deemed one of the worst performing in the country. He emphasized the need for everyone to have a chance to contribute and promised to fight for better education for all students. Meyer also pledged to work with President Donald Trump but received a standing ovation when he vowed to oppose policies that impact healthcare coverage, reproductive rights, and minority communities.
The protesters disrupted Meyer’s speech, but he remained focused on his goals of addressing high prices, rising inequality, and ensuring housing and healthcare as human rights. The new governor expressed support for adding another income tax bracket for wealthier Delawareans in his efforts to reduce inequality.
Additionally, State Senator Sarah McBride shared her motivation for running for office, citing the challenges faced by young families and the lack of prioritization by local representatives. She emphasized the importance of leaders who listen, lift up diverse voices, and prioritize collaboration.
Meyer, who won the Democratic primary and general election, has diverse experience as a former math teacher, diplomat, and small business owner. His inauguration ball will feature musical acts such as The Temptations and The Four Tops, with ticket proceeds going towards the Delaware to the Future corporation. The governor’s commitment to education, healthcare, and equality as highlighted in his inauguration speech signals a new chapter for Delaware under his leadership.
