Rep. Collins addresses EV Town hall.
Town hall crowd filing in. Over 400 people eventually attended this very important event.
On Monday, May 22, 2023, Representative Rich Collins, from the 41st District, presented a town hall meeting to over 400 concerned citizens regarding Governor Carney’s pending MANDATE to force everyone in the state to eventually drive electric vehicles. Governor Carney has directed the Secretary of DNREC (Department of Natural Resouces and Environmental Control), a NON-ELECTED bureau of officials to implement his decree to copy California’s ZEV (Zero Emission Vehicles) MANDATE here in Delaware. Citizens have until May 26th to voice their opinion, but the problem is that 90% of the population has no idea that this is happening. The town hall was conducted to inform the citizens of Sussex County of what will happen if they do not speak up and demand that any policy of this magnitude should be decided by our elected officials and NOT by one person (Governor Carney). Each member of the audience were given forms to fill out to both Governor Carney and DNREC to voice their opinion. Representative Collins will be personally delivering all the letters to both the Governor and DNREC. Representative Collins allowed members of the audience to come forward and give their opinion of the MANDATE. If you value your freedom to make your own choices and not have them MANDATED, please voice your opinion at the link below BEFORE May 26th!

Next year the Caravan will be expanding county-wide and volunteers are being sought to assist on both the Rt. 1 and Rt. 13 corridors.

Portion of combined Clubs during the Q&A period
On Monday, May 1, 2023, Lt. David Moyer of the Millsboro Police Department presented current community information to the joint meeting of the 38th and 41st District Republican Clubs. Lt. Moyer was to be accompanied by Chief Ken McLaughlin of Ocean View, but circumstances arose which precluded Chief McLaughlin from participating. Lt. Moyer did an OUTSTANDING job of filling in for Chief McLaughlin’s portion of the presentation and was able to handle various questions during the Q&A period. He received a STANDING OVATION. We are all so grateful that officers, like Lt. Moyer, serve and protect We the People, everyday!

On Monday, March 3, 2023, the 41st Republican Club was treated to hearing two outstanding young Republicans speak on what is REALLY happening in our high schools. To say that the information they conveyed was “eye opening” is an understatement. Both of these fine young people have bright and promising futures in front of them. Kudos to their parents for raising such fine citizens of Sussex County. Their presentations were followed by Dr. Michael Bellerose who is running for the Indian River School Board in District 2. His platform was well received and the 41st Republican Club will do everything they can to help promote his candidacy.
Representative Collins addresses 41st Club
41st Club and guests listening to Rep. Collins
On Monday, February 6, 2023, Representative Rich Collins (41st District) was our guest speaker. Representative Collins presented an outstanding synopsis of what Governor Carney and DNREC plans to impose on the citizens of Delaware with their proposed mandate on Electric Vehicles (EV’s) starting in model year 2026. Many of the attendees had no idea how much power DNREC, an un-elected body, wields in our state. Given the constant “State of Emergency” that Governor Carney has renewed (now 19 months in a row), the state legislature has NO input to stop this abuse of power. Governor Carney can and is mandating regulations by executive order without our duly elected officials ability to represent the people who elected them. The only recourse the public has is to send letters, emails and make phone calls to the governor to let him know how his actions are unconstitutional and will SEVERELY disenfranchise the poor and middle class.
