McBride Releases First Year in Review Highlighting Bipartisan Wins and Results for Delaware
Washington, D.C. — Today, Delaware’s Congresswoman Sarah McBride released her first Year in Review, outlining the tangible results she delivered for Delaware in her first year in Congress—from returning millions of dollars directly to constituents to securing hundreds of millions in federal investments for communities across the state.
“In my first year in Congress, my focus was simple: make government work better for the people it is meant to serve,” said Rep. McBride. “That meant helping Delawareans cut through red tape, standing up for working families, and delivering real, bipartisan results.”
By the numbers, Rep. McBride’s first year delivered:
- 800 Delawareans assisted through constituent casework
- 98.6% constituent satisfaction rate
- $3.9 million+ returned directly to Delawareans
- $209 million+ secured in federal grant funding for local organizations and governments
- $8.3 million+ secured in congressionally directed spending for Delaware
- 56,000+ emails sent to keep Delawareans informed
Rep. McBride also emphasized her commitment to bipartisan problem-solving:
- 5 bills introduced — 100% bipartisan
- 6 bills co-led
- 439 bills cosponsored, with nearly two-thirds bipartisan
- 360 votes cast on behalf of Delaware
Among the year’s key victories:
- Reversing the Trump administration’s cancellation of funding for Delaware’s Manufacturing Extension Partnership, protecting local manufacturers and jobs;
- Advancing $5 million in bipartisan funding to advance next-generation cooling technology in Delaware, easing grid strain from AI data centers and lowering long-term energy costs;
- Preserving nearly $1 billion in home health care funding through a bipartisan effort, protecting seniors and care workers;
- Passing her first bill in the House unanimously, the bipartisan Equal Opportunity for All Investors Act, expanding access to capital for small businesses;
- Advancing $50 million in federal funding to replace a critical U.S. Army Corps dredge used to protect Delaware’s coastline;
- Supporting veterans and military families by backing bipartisan legislation to protect earned benefits, cut red tape at the VA, and ensure servicemembers are paid even during shutdowns.
The report also highlights Rep. McBride’s extensive work in and across Delaware, including 355 constituent meetings, 30 small business tours, 10 town halls and roundtables, and visits to 35 municipalities statewide.
“Progress is possible when we put people over politics,” McBride said. “I’m proud of what we’ve accomplished together — and I’m just getting started.”
