Her extensive experience in these fields uniquely positions her to understand and address the challenges facing Delaware’s residents. She has served her community as a State Representative and Senator, and her track record of effective leadership and legislative accomplishments speaks for itself.
When elected Governor, Bethany will make history as Delaware’s second woman Governor and the first nurse Governor in the nation. Her profound knowledge of education, healthcare, and agriculture sets her apart from other candidates, ensuring she brings a well-rounded perspective to the role.

During her tenure, Bethany chaired the state retiree healthcare benefits committee, protecting healthcare benefits for thousands of retirees. She also led the state’s Pandemic Resurgence Committee, personally administering over 4,000 vaccines and organizing vaccine drives across Delaware. Her efforts helped businesses survive and thrive during challenging times.
Under the Carney-Hall-Long administration, Delaware has seen remarkable economic growth, with over 32,000 jobs created, making it the strongest job-creating administration since the 1990s. Additionally, the administration has made significant investments in public education, including raising educator pay statewide.
