The 2020 election cycle was a historic one for Delaware when the state’s favorite son, Joe Biden, won the presidency.
But the state also made history in other ways, including newly elected progressive lawmakers who broke national and local barriers.
Three of them became Delaware’s first openly gay, first openly lesbian and first practicing Muslim state lawmakers in history, increasing the diversity in the 62-member Legislature after shocking the state by defeating three powerful, longtime incumbents with underdog campaigns.
Now, Sen. Marie Pinkney of New Castle, Rep. Eric Morrison of Glasgow and Rep. Madinah Wilson-Anton of Newark hope to use their governing powers to push Delaware policies and politics in ways that could change Delaware’s moderate lawmaking traditions for years to come.
