On Labor Day, we honor the generations of working people & labor unions who fought for rights we too often take for granted—safer workplaces, fair pay & benefits, and yes, even the weekend. But our work is far from done—Trump’s attacks on workers & unions make clear just how much we must defend.

Congresswoman Sarah McBride@mcbride.house.govAug 31(source)

I recently joined Ezion Fair Baptist Church and FHLBank Pittsburgh to celebrate the near completion of ten new affordable housing units in Southbridge. This project is about more than housing—it’s about making sure more of our neighbors have access to safety, stability, & the dignity they deserve.

Congresswoman Sarah McBride@mcbride.house.govAug 29(source)

2/ That’s why I’ve already taken action to defuse this bomb by co-sponsoring the Protecting Health Care and Lowering Costs Act—legislation to repeal these cuts and permanently extend ACA premium tax credits. We must do all we can to protect the care so many of our neighbors depend on.

Rep. McBride participates in the roundtable.

Congresswoman Sarah McBride@mcbride.house.govAug 29(source)

1/ While in New Castle last week, I joined my dear friend State Senator Marie Pinkney and health care leaders from across Delaware to discuss Trump’s devastating Medicaid cuts. They were clear: gutting this lifeline isn’t belt-tightening—it’s cruelty.

Rep. McBride takes a group photo with the roundtable participants.

I visited Southern Delaware Therapeutic Riding in Milton, which for nearly four decades has connected people with disabilities to therapeutic horseback riding. Their work offers a place—and friends like Gulliver’s Travels and Appy—to build confidence, resilience, and companionship.

2/ With this expansion, they’re helping create new jobs and grow our state’s economy.

1/ I was glad to be back in Western Sussex County recently—this time to tour Royale Pigments & Chemicals’ new manufacturing site in Seaford. Royale develops specialty colorants used in paints, coatings, & flame-resistant materials.

Great to join Meals on Wheels Lewes-Rehoboth to deliver meals. Meals on Wheels is a vital community partner here in Delaware—helping our most vulnerable neighbors live independently and with dignity.

Congresswoman Sarah McBride@mcbride.house.govAug 28(source)

What a difference a year makes: 2024: Marketplace enrollment hits an all-time high. 2025: Premiums spike by as much as 35%. Trumpcare isn’t just reckless—it means our neighbors lose coverage, ERs get more crowded, and health care costs go up for all of us.

Federal budget cuts lead to ACA insurance rate increases in Delaware

Delaware Health Insurance Marketplace rates will see 25% increases at minimum.

Another unconscionable act of violence has shattered yet another community—this time at a Catholic grade school in Minneapolis, MN. Students deserve more than thoughts and prayers—they deserve to be safe at school. My heart is with the victims, the injured, and their families as they grieve.

Congresswoman Sarah McBride@mcbride.house.govAug 26(source)

Great to cut the ribbon on the Delaware Black Chamber of Commerce (DEBCC)’s new headquarters and incubator space this morning! The DEBCC empowers Black-owned small businesses across our communities—and I'm proud to be working with them to champion entrepreneurs and innovators from all backgrounds.

Rep. McBride participates in the ribbon cutting

Donald Trump is (again) being reckless with the American economy. By threatening to fire Federal Reserve Governor Lisa Cook, he’s creating instability at the Fed—raising prices and threatening YOUR retirement savings. He’s gambling with working people’s paychecks.

Trump, in a Move With Little Precedent, Says He Is Firing a Fed Governor

3/ As we reflected on the courage to keep fighting for democracy, I was humbled to receive the Courageous Leader Award—recognition of our shared commitment to protect our democracy from authoritarian power grabs.

Rev. Dr. Ronald Whitaker and Rep. Sarah McBride

2/ I was grateful to join Rev. Dr. Ronald Whitaker of Mother African Union Church, his congregation, community members, and leaders including Lt. Gov. Kyle Evans Gay, New Castle County Executive Marcus Henry, and Mayor John Carney to mark the start of this year’s festival.

1/ Each year, the August Quarterly Festival—our nation’s longest-running celebration of religious freedom for Black Americans—brings Wilmington together to honor the legacy of Peter Spencer, founder of the first independent African American church in the United States.

2/ These improvements, made possible in part by federal funding, will boost railway safety and efficiency while growing our regional economy.

Rep. McBride poses for a photo on one of the trains.

1/ Stopped by the Delmarva Central Railroad headquarters in Harrington alongside @coons.senate.gov & @bluntrochester.senate.gov to check in on the infrastructure upgrades being made to its tracks, highway and road crossings, and bridges.

Rep. McBride, Senator Blunt Rochester, and Senator Coons listen to a presentation.

Congresswoman Sarah McBride@mcbride.house.govAug 21(source)

2/ But this is more than an investment in our economy—it’s an investment in opportunity, made possible by a strong network of partners committed to Kent County’s future.

Congresswoman Sarah McBride@mcbride.house.govAug 21(source)

1/ Today we broke ground on the new Harrington Industrial Park, which will create hundreds of jobs and strengthen our state’s economic growth—thanks to a federal investment secured by @coons.senate.gov and @bluntrochester.senate.gov last Congress.

Rep. McBride, Senators Blunt Rochester and Coons, and Harrington leaders participate in the ground breaking.
