DelDems Party Chair Issues Statement on House Bill 371 Veto
 
Delaware Democratic Party Chair Betsy Maron issued the following statement in reaction to Governor John Carney's veto of House Bill 371.
 
"While Governor Carney has been consistently clear about his stance on recreational marijuana, Delaware Democrats have been just as consistently clear that they are in favor of legalizing marijuana. Last year, we went as far as to include it in our Party Platform, which passed unanimously at the 2021 State Convention. Delaware’s voters have further solidified their voice on the matter by electing Democratic candidates to the legislature that support legalization. We are confident those legislators will override the veto knowing they have the support of Delaware’s Democrats."
