Welcome to the Non-Partisan Delaware Website!

Non-Partisan Delaware is a ballot qualified political organization in Delaware. We are unique from many political organizations in that we do not have a fixed platform or policy goal. Our immediate short term goals are determined each election cycle by the NPD Governing Board through the development of an internal "Strategic Plan" and we focus on achieving those goals through public information activities, lobbying policymakers in coordination with our coalition partners, and supporting candidates for public office.

Our long term goals, officially, can vary over time with the evolving composition of our Governing Board and the nature of the relationships we develop as an organization and as individual members within it. We are working now in these early days to establish a reputation for thoughtfulness and to develop an internal culture—reflected through our short term goals—that emphasizes consent, tolerance, empathy, and equity.

Keep scrolling for News and Updates, or follow the links on the side bar to the right (below the newsfeed on mobile) to connect to our social media communities and get involved. We hold monthly Meet Ups in all three counties and someone is usually active on our Discord Server in between.

You and Your Defense

Following the horrific massacre in Uvalde, Texas, calls for tightened gun control restrictions arose as predictably from some corners as the counter-argument that was tossed back that additional mental health assets and armed teachers and tougher law enforcement were the policies that would create a safer society. With the appalling frequency of these tragic events comes a sad familiarity with the resulting “debate”. By “debate”, of course, we refer to a habit on both sides of designating their opponents as “gun nuts” or “gun grabbers”, “red necks” or “socialists”, that has only intensified in the 23 years since Columbine, the decade since Sandy Hook, and the weeks since Uvalde, Texas. The usual suspects on both sides arrive on cue with the same arguments.

Yesterday saw politicians at protests across the state stridently attacking their opponents for wanting to take away individual rights. For taking an un-American step down a dark road to tyranny.

Was it a gun rights rally or an abortion rights march?

The parallels in the rhetoric would be ironically amusing were they not so troubling. Have Americans reached a point at which they are only capable of screaming at each other through the most simplistic and venal memes and sound bites you can imagine? Are we so incapable of wrapping our minds around ideas we disagree with that anyone espousing it can only be lying, evil, and intent on our destruction?

Reclaim Your Privacy

Yesterday we wrote about the dangerous approach of a rogue Supreme Court not only dismissing any constitutional right to privacy when it struck down Roe v Wade, but also threatening (in Justice Clarence Thomas’s words) to go back and “correct” Obergefell, Griswold, etc.

This Court not only does not respect precedent, but has an activist intent to roll back the last fifty years of expanded rights for women, people of color, LGBTQ+ Americans, and anybody who has sex outside the missionary position.

What can ordinary Americans do in the face of an activist, rogue Supreme Court with the power to literally recast our hard-won civil rights when an old man taps “Enter” on his keyboard?

A lot, actually.

Supreme Court Overturns Roe v. Wade

This is not the platform upon which we had hoped to launch our party, but sometimes the best laid plans are disrupted by circumstance. All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given us.

Today’s ruling by the Supreme Court, which overturned Roe v Wade, has already curtailed the rights of women in 13 states, according to the Washington Post. These states have “trigger laws” already in place that come into force immediately or within 30 days of Roe being overturned, and it is expected that eventually severe restrictions and outright bans on abortion will exist in half the states of the nation.
